Willy's Ragged Old Mop

Willy's hair looked like a ragged old mop
His loving wife told him, 'Go get it cropped!'
  He sat down in the chair
  Yawned, 'I've got hair to spare' 
Willy woke up with a shiny bald top

I don't know if my wit is as sharp as your RAZOR wit, my dear!! A very cutting comment you wrote, if I may say so. ~ Gershon/George Wolf/Washington CARVEr

Maybe, although it's so easy to fall asleep in the barber's chair, esp. when the haircut takes a while! Thanks, M.L.

Imagine that happening to a woman, but she is sharp and alert when she goes to a hair dresser, she would definately go into hiding if she was made bald! That is when my heart goes out to woman who are cancer patients and have chemo, they feel so self conscious and all I want to do is go up to them and hug them. Blessings

I have two grandsons who have razor cuts, they look like they are ready to enlist. One is five, the other 13. This poem made me smile on their behalf.
