Oh please spare me from my stylist who seems to think it is part of her job description to talk my ears off while she is trimming around them!

This one made me smile...

This stuck out to me because I loved the twist at the end! Brilliant.

It felt like more than a two-verse poem though, with that last rhyming couplet at the end, but I did really enjoy it.

A fun and funny poem that made me smile. Great artwork and presentation. I laughed out loud at the last line. I love my stylist and she will love this.
Well done.
Blessings

Hello, Mystery Writer!
Spot on!
What a creative offering! Those poor hairstylists!
Actually, the stylists are only supposed to be "shearing on you!" :)
My appointment is scheduled for tomorrow! I promise I'll behave!

Best wishes!

I understand the art of the tonsorial parlor which is like the barkeep at the inn pouring gin or another toxic waste to burn away salted thoughts until the dawn awakens one with a stormy headache. Why did they partake?

Ooh I like this one! It's witty and packs such a punch! Excellent rhyming and rhythm and I like the use of stanzas to designate the statement and response. How often have I sat in a salon and sometimes after a busy week all I want is quiet and no awkward chitchat. Catch me in relaxed holiday mode and I'm sure I chat the poor hairdresser's ear off!
Next please write one about a dentist appointment where the dentist asks all the questions while I'm stuck replying "ahhh, ess,agh, mmhm" !!! LOL

    Thanks for the review. My husband refuses to speak to any dental personnel with a pen in their hand unless he is on his feet, so you may be seeing that rant in rhyme sometime.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Very funny poem, and one that hits home with me because my stylist likes to express her political views, which are the polar opposites of my own.

I like that you present this as a conversation with opposing viewpoints.

Your poem has a very enjoyable bouncy rhythm, with excellent rhymes, and I love your sense of humor! Good luck in the contest. I expect you'll do well.
