Close Shaves and Final Cuts

Close Shaves and Final Cuts

 

When they shave me for

the last time,

   as they always tend to do ..

Please be sure

that they use my old razor,

or a proper one

and most definitely not one

that has been

borrowed or some electric

   whirring thing ..

Oh’ and if by chance they

should fail to

nick my waxy chin, cheeks,

or saggy jowls,

just be sure that, I forgive

you and indeed

everyone absolutely every

   single thing ..

But please, make sure that

the guy with

the razor makes a test cut

before applying

any rouge or makeup they

   think necessary ..

And should by any chance

I bleed at all

during the above outlined

   procedure ..

Then reschedule all planned

celebrations

and go get a decent physician

   out to me pronto ..
