I just happened to walk into town,
My seventies hairstyle swaying with each step.
Such a long time since I had my haircut
But I was not worried about it,
I certainly wasn’t going to book an appointment,
Or queue at my barbers,
But as I passed the barbers it was empty.
So in I went and had my locks shorn,
Shorn to my short hair of normality.
That pleased me, hair cut without waiting,
Charged the normal price,
All was fine.
The problem came the following day.
I walked into my croquet club
And they didn’t know me!
So I was charged a fiver!
The new member’s fee!!

Doh! lol. Good write Gold.
Thanks Orchi.
Oh lol - an aside. I'm reading about some Greeks of old days. I must have been there in person, as they DID add water to their wine! I was a servant/steward there. lol.
You would be! I suppose you sang to them as well!
Andy
Yes lol. It seems it didn't make much difference me being there with the water, as they drank so much they still got tipsy. I tried to help.... lol.
... Ouch .. gotta larf tho don't cha .. well I kinda guffawed a bit .. sorry GF60.............................................. N
That is great, life is better even if you "guffawed a bit".
Andy
well, they do say a good haircut: 'takes-off years in a man, Andy'
guess you patronage an artisan barber, at the peak of his Art..
thanks for my goofy grin, and another fun read
delightfully capturing, those gifted quirky moments in life
Thank you Mek, my pleasure if I made you grin.

You've been winning too many games - someone tried to even the score, I reckon, Andy.
That thought had crossed my mind as well Dave. But I will get them "revenge is a dish best eaten cold".
Andy
I understand that strategy very well, Andy - I don't forget, I don't forgive: there is a resolution, but it has to come from the offender.
You could use this chance to have some fun with your croquet club members as they don't recognize you.
I now cut my own hair with one of those electric buzz cutters. And I'll save myself $30 every time. Love the Diana Krall tune too. Great write Andy.
Thank you AP, much appreciated.
I like Diana Krall as well.
Andy
Still laughing Andy. Thanks much. Great wrench.
So glad about that, if I can make people laugh it makes me so happy.
Andy
Diana so easy on the ear - - she haunts me long after the number -- a good fun write but hope you got that fiver back dear short-haired Andy.
Thank you Fay, yes she is easy on the ear. I will get the chairman to take me out for a pint and let him pay!
Andy
Short-haired Andy wasn't recognized. Nice to know the change a haircut can do. Enjoyed it!
Thank you rr, most kind.
