I Used To Enjoy

I Used to Enjoy by Bob Moore © 2022 I used to enjoy the barbers go for a haircut and a chat talk about the football politics and things like that There usually would be one chair, or maybe there was two a few customers and the barber who knew just what to do Short back and sides was standard the cut most of us had not fancy, but easy to comb or brush and it didn’t look too bad But things have changed, as all things do and whenever you may go the barbers speak to each other in a language I do not know. They may be telling each other jokes just like we used to do “two cutting and three bagging here, been a while since we’ve seen you.” Or talking about the football or the land where they were born but I cannot join in with them on this haircut Saturday morn. I miss those haircut mornings and now it’s just a chore I listen but do not understand don’t go much anymore Bob Moore
