The Barbers.

Wayne’s not old as barbers go, so it’s a fair bet
as the barber in Yass, he’ll be there for a while yet.
I’m happy to wait my turn in his chair
reading his fishing magazines and other fare.

But over the years people change their ways.
Barbering’s a trade you can’t learn these days.
A cut’s not enough for young men of today,
they want perms and streaks and gel and spray.

“Men’s Sheds” are new, but I remember when
every town had one. It was the barbers then.
