Mr. McBaldy woke up one morning. He stretched his arms and yawned... but when he looked at himself in the bathroom mirror all of his hair was gone! How could that happen? How could that be! Have you ever heard of something so weird? What would you do if you woke up one morning and all of your hair disappeared?
Mr. McBaldy called the police. He thought, "Maybe they know what to do." But instead they said, “We’re sorry, Mr. McBaldy, but the police are as bald as you!”
Mr. McBaldy grabbed his hat. He was determined to find his hair. He looked under the rug in the living room and found some underwear. He looked under the couch and behind a chair. He found some crackers and cheese. He found a diamond ring and a Ping-Pong ball. He found his wallet and keys. He looked in the kitchen in the cupboards and cabinets. He looked in his dresser drawer. He looked for his hair behind the stove and found a green apple core.
Mr. McBaldy wasn’t a dummy. He went to school. He was smart. But maybe, he thought, he left his hair at the store in a shopping cart. “No, no, no,” he thought. “That couldn’t be it.” Maybe he swallowed it in his sleep! Or maybe the tooth fairy took it by mistake and now it was hers to keep.
Mr. McBaldy searched the garage, the roof and the chimney top. He found a funny-looking suit, a fishing pole, some shoes and a lollipop. Then Mr. McBaldy drove away and knocked on Suzie McDougal's front door. When Suzie McDougal answered the door she said, “You don’t have any hair anymore!”
“I lost my hair, but I found something else.” Then he dropped to one knee. “Suzie McDougal, you’re the love of my life.Will you please marry me?”
Mr. McBaldy found true love but never did find his hair …and judging by the looks of things nobody seems to care.
