Haircut

entry picture

I sat one day in the Barber's Shop

Awaiting my short, back 'n' sides;

When through the window I saw my Boss -

He'd copped me – I'd nowhere to hide.

 

Then he came in and he challenged me

“A haircut!” he said, “In firm's time?”

But quick as a flash I replied to him

“Well that's fair – it's grown in firm's time”

 

“Not all of it grew in Company time”

I heard him triumphantly scoff

But with perfect logic I explained,

“I'm not not having all of it off”.

◄ Ah Yes, I Remember it Well

It's Not 5-0 is it Now, Merv? ►

Lovely, John (but just check, I think you've got too many knots (nots) in your hair - last line;-) xx
