If I Did Not Look Like Cro-Magnon Man

Everybody and their cousin wants their haircut today. The sign is in the window as usual – stylist needed. Great opportunity. Apply within. It should say ten stylists needed. Many empty stations. Not sure what is happening here. The usual cutters are not around anymore. The young ones are beeping and blinking on cell phones. Ignoring the old lady customers who are trying to shout to each other From under old fashion beehive dryers. The beeping and blinking And ignoring of customers Is driving me nuts. If I did not look like an unkempt, Cro-magnon man today I would be gone. Without the wait. Or the bad haircut From a stylist who is looking at her phone the whole time she is slashing my mess.
