The Haircut

One sunny day in cold October

driving a big lincoln was old Ash Colter.

Wheeling down Barker St. toward his kingdom

thinking bout the luxuries his money did bring him.

Near mid Barker st. was a barber shop,

man named Kiley set a business up.

To his suprise at just ten o'clock

in the same driveway sat one of his trucks.

Well old Ash knew there was work to be done

but there sat his truck in the October sun.

So he stroked his chin and thought tough thoughts

about how to settle such a breach of trust.



Well back to the office went old Ash Colter

and looked out the window where the trucks got loaded.

He waited and watched for the said same truck

he'd never get tired he'd never give up.

Well after a while the truck drove in

and Ash called down to bring the driver to him.

Then in walked the man with a sheepish grin

found old Ash Colter with his hand on his chin.

He said, "tell me son, you just get a haircut?"

He said, "Yes Mr. Colter  I did sure enough."

"Son you got it cut on company time!"

"Well that's when I grew sir it grew just fine."

"You did'nt grow it all on company time, what's up?"

He said "Mr. Colter I did'nt get it all cut!!"
