Bad Haircut and a Close Shave!



I woke up today feeling wonderful!
My thoughts were all shiny; none of them dull!
I ate my breakfast, then wandered downtown,
Wearing a smile — no hint of a frown.

The sun shone brightly; the sky was blue.
My thoughts were frisky, and all about you!
I flew down the street on the wings of love.
Our needs and desires fit just like a glove!

I saw my reflection in a store window;
It told me I needed a haircut, and so
I stepped inside an old barber's shop;
The barber began to cut and to crop.

The mirror revealed he'd butchered my hair!
I said, "I'm not paying!" and rose from the chair.
The barber came back with a cut-throat razor,
So I fled the scene without my blazer!

I lost my best jacket, but kept my head;
Still breathing (thank goodness), not joining the dead!
I made my way quickly to you, my dear,
So happy to find you waiting right here.

Now here I am, in your sultry embrace;
Caressing your curves and kissing your face!
You don't like my haircut? Neither do I!
I'll find a new barber, my sweet, by and by!
