An Alphabetical Limerick For the Happy Barber

a singing barber raises his voice to sing 
beautiful songs that make the hair take note    
cutting round the ear   
dadaism heeds, as   
each  falling hair sings down to the floor  

fabulous songs from Pavarotti brings  
glacier eyes against a miserable grump  
here is your hat Mister  Linus  
I wasn't trying to be mean  
just wanted your hair to have a good time !

Nicely, neatly, wonderfully done and not easy to make these limericks into ABC limericks!

Enjoyable! I have less hair to cut these days - I am 63 but enjoy going to get my hair cut - I recently had it colored. They were playing some music I did not really like when I got it colored. I would not have minded some Beethoven or Smetna. Or even some Beatles. My dentist plays good music. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
