Why Men Need Hair Salons Poem by Tan Pratonix

Why Men Need Hair Salons

Rating: 5.0


The nail-cutter I use
To clip my nails
Is of Korean steel.
It never fails.

It can snip not only nails,
But even fingers.
So sharp those edges!
The pain still lingers.

The razor I use
To shave my beard
Is a German Merkur;
And as I feared

It removed my sideburns
By accident.
I wanted them trimmed
Like every smart gent!

I should have used
My scissors from China,
But they were sadly ruined
In an 'operation minor'.

I have a Japanese knife
Which cuts my nails
And trims my beard.
But I used it by chance
Upon my mane,
And as I feared
I look like a sheep
That has been sheared.

From now on I will go
To the barber-shop
To shave my beard
And trim my mop.

My finger-nails will be filed;
(No clippers please!)
In a hair-salon you lie back
And feel entirely at ease.
