Wolf Alopecia

I am a wolf with a bane as it were;
it is unfortunate I'm going bald.
Wolf alopecia brings out my grrrr.

Recently I noticed big clumps of fur;
as the outdoor type I sure was appalled.
I am a wolf with a bane as it were.

Losing my fur’s not supposed to occur;
I had to look up to see what it’s called.
Wolf alopecia brings out my grrrr.

I had a date with a nice hirsute her;
but when she noticed, desire just crawled.
I am a wolf with a bane as it were.

O how this balding makes my insides stir!
I can avow that I am not enthralled.
Wolf alopecia brings out my grrrr.

So as a werewolf I’ll have to abjure;
I’ll wear a stocking hat when I am bald.
I am a wolf with a bane as it were;
wolf alopecia brings out my grrrr.
