Dan Ferri’s classic slam poem, excerpted in SlamNation and shown in its entirety here. Dan’s poem is also anthologized in The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry. I’ve since become a bald guy myself, and I sympathize!

A short note from Dan Ferri about the piece…. “The funny thing about this piece is that people think it’s funny, which tells something about both rhetoric and street fights. In both cases you want ’em to smile first.”
