Did They Always Wiggle Like This
The squirming boy was almost too much
Barber Bill was getting aggravated
Did they always wiggle like this? He wondered
Actually, they did.
The thing is…
Barber Bill’s hands are not steady any more
He probably should not be cutting hair of small boys
But he will continue,
Believing himself much steadier
And younger than he is
Feeling twenty, instead of his sixty-four.
