The Tattoo Parlor

The Tattoo Parlor

By Elton Camp

Rob passed the tattoo store
Its sign he’d never seen before

“Sterile needles” it didn’t claim
Nor great skill did it name

It didn’t invite with cheer
“Your wife’s face done here”

On it, there wasn’t found
“The lowest prices around”

Rather, “Tattoos While U Wait”
Alternatives Rob did contemplate 

What might be another way
Leave a leg to pick up next day?
