Wendy Watson Poet Limerick

A Hair-Raising Tale

A short-sighted barber named Dave
Bid folks to 'Sit down and be brave!'
With ears and neck snipped,
Departing they quipped:
Whew! That was a very close shave!'

Andrea Dietrich January 20, 2019 at 3:01 PM very cute and right on the nose for limerick meter. Wendy Watson January 24, 2019 at 4:39 PM Clever pun, Andrea! I must admit, I find rhyme so much easier than free verse!

Carolyn Devonshire January 19, 2019 at 4:49 PM It stuns me how men can be so trusting with their barbers. An accidental slice on the neck could prove fatal. Love the humor here and wish you success in Joseph's fun contest. Hugs, Carolyn Carolyn Devonshire January 25, 2019 at 8:02 AM Henry David Thoreau's brother (think his name was Edward) died from an infection caused by a rusty razor. As you say, this was long ago... Wendy Watson January 24, 2019 at 4:38 PM Thank you,Carolyn. I think things are slightly more civilized these days but certainly in the old days it was a risky business!
