Shave and a Haircut — Two Bucks!
By Frederick Ebright - VA Madison, Wisconsin
Now here’s a down payment for cutting my hair,
Put the rest on my credit, so-called.
I get scalped every time I get in the chair;
I’ll be glad when I’m totally bald.
I’ve mortgaged my car, gone out on a limb;
With my groceries and rent I’m remiss
All simply because I needed a trim
But not such a trimming as this!
