At the Barber's

A young spalpeen named Max,
Had hair growing like steroided flax,
He sat in the salon chair
The barber looking on in despair,
Saying, "Wait here, I'll just get my axe."

Chop chop! Good limerick John. I think this is the first time I've seen the word spalpeen.

I loved the word when I first heard it. I always wanted to use it in a poem & the chance finally arose. Thank you for having a read David.......kind regards-----John
