The Barber Shop!

The Barber Shop!

The barber shop for a quick crop,
Long locks need a trim,
A considerable while to snip and style
Beards on hairy chins,
The seats are sat in constantly,
Small-talk kept polite,
Keen customers form an endless stream
Of haircut stereotypes!
 
"What style do you have in mind sir?
I`ll need a small reminder!"
"I`d like to be more daring
With a fifty's Peaky Blinder!"
The barber shop was modern,
Catered for all trends,
Fade and Taper, Undercut,
Modern Pomp for men!
 
The barbers all wear waistcoats,
Black trousers, proud sharp creases,
Attired for snooker tables
Dressed up as fancy pizzas,
Jesus would surely disapprove,
Religion comes off worse,
Cutting hair on Sundays
Instead of going to church!
 
Shampoos of various aromas,
Combs, shavers and blades,
Hair dyes, highlight toners
In a multitude of shades,
Additional conditioners,
Lotions for the scalp,
Potions packed with proteins
For that extra-texture help!
 
Customers reading magazines
Waiting for their turn,
Chewing gum,  viewing The Sun,
Not uttering a word,
"Who's next?" the barber asks them
As a customer interrupts,
He'd been drinking, without thinking
Leaves the shop half-cut!
 
No need for appointments
Just call in when you can,
The barber shop is open
On a seven-day week plan,
Prices are extortionate;
The cost keeps going up
That's about the only thing
The barber doesn't cut!

I love the ending on this!
