Barber

I am in the
Barbershop
Waiting my turn
Remembering the
First and only time
My father took me to
The barbershop as my
Dad always cut us kids’ hair
Since six kids was a lot of money.
I left home for UT in 1966 but by
Then my friend and future wife
Cut my hair and our kids’ hair
Until she could not at which
Point I began to search for
That West Frankfurt
Barbershop but
Never found it
Settling for
The old
Men’s
Barbershop.
Biden so reminds
Me of an old fashioned
Barber unlike the Trump
Coiffure teased to absurdity.
I’d rather a barber than
A hair-brained fop
Too pretentious
And vain to
Act his
Age.
Worked
That last
Bit in pretty
Sneaky,
Huh?
