The Barber's Eye

Always there for the needy,
Doing what should be done
With great care and admiration,

Making us look clean and shiny,
Making us look new and good,
All these for some few coins,

Look,
Here am I, looking clean
And shiny than ever,

Clean as cleanliness,
Shiny like the midday sun
And brighter than the midnight moon.

All these because of the barber’s eye
That does nothing
Other than what should be done,

As he say’s himself,
“Looking good Is my business.”
