THE HAIRCUT

I almost hate to take off my hat
After I’ve had my haircut
The guys on the job always ask
“Who cut your hair?”
And before I begin to tell them
They answer themselves
“Attilla the Hun – with a lawn mower
After he got his eyes poked out!”
Saving me the agony and trouble
Of removing my hat again
