My First Gray Hair

When I discovered my first gray hair, I immediately wrote to my parents:

"Dear Dad and Mom, You saw my first steps. You might want to experience this with me too."  I taped the offending hair to the paper and mailed it. My father's response, titled "Sonnet to a Hair," began:
 
It 's a trustworthy observation that nothing can compare In the process of aging with finding the first gray hair.

He signed off with this observation:
"That gray hair you sent us is not the first one you gave us!"
