LOOKING A-HEAD!

So now we all know the royal baby's name,

But looking ahead I can anticipate blame

From the recipient of the moniker that's been selected

When he's that bit older and cruelly affected

By inheriting the hair loss of his uncle and dad

And jibes from his chums (and enemies) make him mad.

What hapless young man would relish being called

What seems very likely:  Archie the Bald!

Nice! He will go all through school anyway known as Archibald!!! His Dad does have a bald patch as well as his uncle. Is Harrison a play on words for Harry's son? Jennifer

Hair loss can be seen on both men, the area around the crown of the head being a frequent feature of this male trait. Back in Victorian/Edwardian days, the name Archibald was familiar, hence
the temptation to have a chuckle.

His uncle may be bald but his dad and grandad aren't...baldness is not a Hewitt trait!
