His daddy vowed he'd have a fit,
If that hair wasn't cut just a bit.
"A tousled head of fluffy curls,
 Is quite becoming to little girls,
But that boy of mine," his dad did say,
"Shall have a cut this very day."

Off they went to the barber shop,
 To trim some from the sides, and some from the top.
"This won't take long, just a short while;
This boy will look like another child."
Sitting in that big barber's chair,
Mikey wasn't ready to lose his hair.
He wiggled and twisted, and did a turn,
Then he began to really squirm.
He slumped way down, and then up he stood.
The barber kept snipping…..at this, he's good!


Mikey screamed; he hollered; then he kicked
When his ear the barber nicked.
Mikey wouldn't be still.  Oh, no, not him;
The barber kept cutting and tried to trim.
We don't blame the barber for Mikey's looks.
He went to the right school, read all the right books.


 
Mike's head is bald; devoid of hair.
He vowed to himself, sitting in that chair
"Never again, NO, not me in that place.
I'll let the hair cover my face."
Mikey's hair is gone, but then
Pretty soon it will grow back again.
He is still our mischievous imp.
The barber? He still walks with a limp.
