First and sixth lines from subsequent limerick-off prompts by MadKane, with one small change ("man" for "guy" in line one).
There once was a man with no hair
Who pined for a visage more fair
From days long ago
That all of us know
The death of which all must forbear.
A woman was feeling depressed
Her beauty, she knew, was suppressed
By oncoming age.
The crux of her rage?
An outcome she could not contest.
