Crawled onto squeaky vinyl upholstery the image of a corpulent mustached man an awe creaped up as his experienced hand filled my view, he nudged me back into the chair I who never saw a razor blade so long had never seen so many bottle types bright formulae, one for each condition I was sure he'd have a color just for me like my doctor knew my favorite lolly... 'I have shaved many young men', he began thoughts of razors made my heart run 'and I have cut many heads of hair'... so into the front mirror I curiously stared... what would be his crafted approach I'd look like the man with the crewcut of course he'd apply his shear technique and resource. I'd watched to see how the others would cut patches of hair covered their clean aprons men of experience viewed from my mounted throne just wanted to return to my hot buttered scone I was yanked from the breakfast table to meet this haircut date slated groomed fate... There my locks fell one by one gradually my cover was undone I'd return to the world as a shaven head would have stuck to my breakfast instead...

 Much enjoyed, Martin! This reminds me of my little boy's first haircut. I was the one that had the problem with it, though.  ....jo |
