Paul Callus Poet Limerick

Bob Barber

Bob Barber trimmed beards and cut hair;
fresh news with his clients did share.
He knew secrets well kept
and much gossip, except
his young wifey’s ongoing affair.

Angela Crabtree December 13, 2020 at 1:29 PM I guess nobody wanted to be the first one to tell him about her :) Paul Callus December 14, 2020 at 1:43 PM I agree with you, Angela. Many people do not like to interfere in other people's private lives. I suppose it's a double-edged sword! Regards // paul
