Another Work Day

I arose early with 
   the sound of Public radio(which I left on all night)
 in my ears 
   got dressed
tried to 
    started to shave 
but none of my razors were any good 
    Called car service 
to get to work 
   I told him 
to take me over to barber school 
   so I could 
take a shave 
$7 - a young Spanish woman gave me
    a trim and a razor shave 
with the towels!! 
   I was ready to go over and teach ESL!
