The Barber of Seville

Today, I chose to shave my head,
by a shaky hand I was led,
I tried to glide the razor,
cut me quick like a laser...
"Emergency room!" Enough said?

whose hairstyle's a wonky Afro

Bald Reflection

A man once sit down in a chair.
He didn't have very much hair.
     The barber let pass
     What he thought was gas.
Now what was once hair is a glare!

Those Eyes

There's eyes in the back of his head 
So it seems that he can't be misled
But with humor in mind
He winked from behind
The shock killed his barber instead!

Premium Member Philosophical Questions

Is a barber or scissors the snipper?
A shoeless man, or sock, the slipper?
Why was mom, not a housewife, but a stripper?
You may as well ask a dolphin - Flipper?

There once was an amazing unicorn,
Whose coat was confusedly shaved and shorn,
She’s a little bit mad.
Called the barber a cad,
And was a moment, a little forlorn.

Went to a different barber named Fred

I don't care for his cut

I wouldn't complain but...

There once was a mad barber named Max
Instead of scissors, he wielded an axe
   He chopped off your hair
   And shaved your head bare
Then he rubbed on depilatory wax

The Barbers Decree

When I sat down, my barber made a decree,
"I'll cut your hair in the back if you agree"
Thinking him dim
I looked at him,
And said, "No, up front here is fine with me!"

At the Barber's

A young spalpeen named Max,
Had hair growing like steroided flax,
He sat in the salon chair
The barber looking on in despair,
Saying, "Wait here, I'll just get my axe."

Premium Member A Monk With a Wave

There once was a monk with a wave
Who desired a head with a shave ...
      Well, the barber was such
      That she cut back too much
Thereby leaving his globus concave

Musical Tip

There was a barber shop quartet,
 That went to the track to for a bet,
      Their singing exploded
   When their pockets got loaded,
 From a topical tip called, " Minuet "

Then the Evening Cometh

Strings build 'til they scream
The highest notes in two keys
A blazing sunset...

Haircut

He went to the barber to cut his hair
But he looked at him with an awful stare
Then he heard the barber say
Sir, you're wearing a toupee
He said I was tired and couldn't find a chair

Premium Member Cleaners Are Closed Barber Shop Too

The cleaners are closed
The barber shop too
Pandemic madness
For many, quite a few.

Hairdressers slam shut
You cannot buy wood glue
Schools not open
Because of the dhrammed flu.
