Mister Barber, Don'T Take Any Off the Top

I still sport a crop of grass on my pate But, alas, I have noticed as of late A bare spot is spreading there Reflecting a frightful glare Furthermore it doesn't look all that great! Robert L. Hinshaw, CMSgt, USAF, Retired © All Rights Reserved

Old age seems to creep up on us all. We can fight but it's a losing battle. Look at how much money all the stars spend trying to look like they are still young but it doesn't do any good. A cute write my friend. It made me smile. God Bless, JB

I think the Tebow trade for the Jets is Bussiness to sell seats and the preasure my GIANTS have put on there over predicting coach... Who has more to prove?? Sanchez or P.Manning???

Bob, very funny, am sure you are still as handsome though, there used to a barber here known as a mad harry, when you went in and asked for a particular style he used to just shave it to the bone, then shout "next". have a great weekend Bob....David

This reminds me of my Dad, he has lost a bit off the top in the last couple of years and swears it's the barber's fault!~Tirzah~
