I called the shop at 7:38
I asked, “Are you open?” and they said, “Great!”
I bought some DeeRugs after I dropped the call
Thirty dollars was what I had in all
I said, “Sir, I have little funds, but my mustache you can see it’s way too long.”
Reluctantly, he said
“Have a seat; you look like a bear.”
As he was clipping, we began to chat
I shared that I, too, was a barbershop rat
Like the children, teenagers really
He paused to clean, but really to keep off the street
When I was done, I left from the chair
and paid a five-dollar tip for a twenty-five-dollar fare
