Apologies to Bobby Jordan for any offence arising by my using Felix as the vehicle here. As you can imagine, during my recent hospital stay the days were very long being awoken just after 6 every morning. Having little else to do but observe the daily rituals, served only to fuel my creative thoughts. I have posted this before the actual ‘poems’ to set the scene as it were. On the day of my operation, I had a visit from the Hospital barber. He introduced himself as Cyril but stated that everyone calls him Butch. (This instinctively brought to mind Felix, Sally & WaWA etc. Hence the title) Now, I am no oil painting but this guy was SERIOUSLY lacking in the looks department. In fact, he looked like a bulldog chewing a wasp. When he announced that he had come to give me a shave, I replied that I did not need one as I had shaven prior to arriving at the hospital… He gave me a wicked grin & whipped back the bed clothes………. 'A Close Shave@ & 'Quasimodo's Brother ' are dedicated to Cyril AKA Butch…… |

. A Close Shave I’m usually quite brave Bit I cringe at your very touch And I rather not be shaved By someone known as Butch So if you don’t mind Cyril I’d much rather do my own thing Because you will put your life in peril If you damage my ding-a-ling ! Please hand over the mirror Release your clutch on the shaving foam Pass the cut throat & grab your coat…. Butch, it’s time that you went home "Ignorance is the Enemy...." |

So Cyril the Barber looked like a bulldog chewing a wasp?!? Laudy, laudy! He must have had one fugly-looking mug! "So if you don’t mind Cyril I’d much rather do my own thing Because you will put your life in peril If you damage my ding-a-ling ! ~ I thought that it was only ding-a-lings that had a ding-a-ling?

Sorry SEA,No offence intended.. given that Chuck Berry sang about the same thing I did not think it would be a problem. I have no objection to your moving it should you feel the need.. John |
