A lock of John Lennon's hair that was cut as he prepared to appear in a film sold for $35,000 (£24,000) at an auction in Dallas.
The four-inch snippet was bought by Paul Fraser, a UK based memorabilia collector,
The Rape of the Lock... Revisited?
It is often said the world's not fair.
And that certainly applies to hair.
My head -for one- is nearly bare
with tousled locks simply not there.
Though I must say it would make me feel quite iIl--ia
To collect someone else's scalp as memorabilia
Though centuries ago it had been our Native Indians passion,
I'd have thought that since then it had gone out of fashion
after tribes like the Comanches
had stopped raiding ranches
and offered peace branches
to settle for their salvation
in a more peaceful Reservation.
Let's fervently hope
even if necrophilia someday gets worse in Dallas
no overly rich dope
will ever decide to buy a dead celebrity phallus
because it would only bring expensive laughter:
Resurrection belongs strictly to the Hereafter.
