The Barber of Midgeville

Said Mr. Anderson to Bob Cumming
I've passed your shop several times last week,
and each time found it closed.

Says Bob to Mr. Anderson;
I'm working new hours,
trying to wean myself into retirement.

"Congratulations, dude.
Live it and love it!
Any plans?"

Says Bob; A little of this a little of that.
See the Pyramids along the Nile,
Maybe hop the Orient Express.

"I'll miss you, Bob. It's been 10 years
you've been trimming my sideburns
and plucking hair out of my nose."

Says Bob the Barber to Mr. Anderson;
Guess what, you're the last customer for the night.
As a matter of fact, the last barber you'll ever have.

With that, the customer awakens from his Purgatory,
to realize he's stuck in the loop of souls,
neither in heaven or hell but in Alzheimer.
