“Morning Martin”
“Morning Andy”
“Are you well?”
“Yes, I’m fine. And you?”
“Yes fine.”
These words, so trite but always well meant,
Open the door to conversations that roam
The worlds of books, music, poetry and thoughts,
In the company of a good friend.
We talk of many things,
Things that make us laugh.
Things that make us sad.
Things that make us angry!
We always talk of music,
That blues sound, always in the background;
Occasionally a different sound breaks through,
As the birds squawk at each other
Books are important to us
We discuss what we read.
“This was a good read” say I,
“Yes, I agree” says he.
The Regal, that wonderful place
Where films and shows ‘Regale’ us
With humour, music and tears;
A special place in our town and hearts.
So now we talk of films,
Some good some not so good,
And the occasional one outstanding.
But we speak of them as friends do
I never remember my hair being cut,
We are too busy discussing events.
A short time to catch up with
The things we both feel are, important.
The talk is over, hands are shaken.
“Take care, Martin”
“And you, see you soon”
I walk out with a smile on my face
Having spent time talking of matters
That mean so much to, My Barber and me.

Good write Gold.
I couldn't wait at one barbers. About 10 chairs and only one serving. Some guy having a manicure or something, the time he took.
Another one sadly closing down almost - only open a day or so each week now.
Thanks Orchi. I have been very fortunate with my barbers over the years.

I went in for a haircut recently. The Barber told me "I could give you a haircut, but I'm running a special today. I'll cut them all for the same price." So I took the special. Orchi will be so proud of me. 😃
He certainly would AP.

Truly brilliant in its simplicity.
Thank you Thomas, much appreciated.

A lot of truth in your depiction of the relationship between hairdresser and client - although with all that ground to cover wot did you have - shave, cut, shampoo and blow dry plus extras?
Admired the agenda, Andy.
Thank you Dave.
No we just continued where we left off from the last time I had my hair cut
