In Search Of That Barber! Poem by Kazi Ahmed

I had a nice hair cut last Saturday
The barber was quite expert and efficient
He took extra care for me
For a very brief time I fell asleep
But during this time also he did not stop his work

After the job was finished he showed me the back
side by lifting a hanging mirror
I was pleased but this extra care was putting pressure on me
I was thinking he is going to be qualified for a good tip
However he did not demand any extra money
I was surprised!
What an extra ordinary barber!

It was late night when I returned home
My wife gave a strange look at me
She was suppressing smile
I was not sure what it was
Children already went to bed
I took a shower and had my dinner
In the bed my wife was extra careful to make me happy
I thought ‘It was my day’
I did not ask her why she was smiling
a few moments earlier

In the morning after a good night sleep I went to the fresh room
where I discovered that one side of my hair remained the same
That is the barber did not touch that part
I was annoyed; rushed to the barbershop
That extra courteous barber was not there
I asked the other barber about that man
He told no barber like I explained ever worked there

I was confused; I showed the man my incomplete haircut
He looked at me and burst into laugh
I got angry; I told him to rectify it
He told he can do it but the last haircut was not done
at their shop; that he can guarantee

I was totally confused
Who then last night it was?
I am still searching!
