Grilled Mongolian at the Barber Shop
An Overdue Haircut from Miss Tasha
While I was being shorn of excess hair
V: “Make me look like a young Robert Redford, please”
R: “We don’t do miracles here, Mr. Hall”
A lady enthroned a few chairs over
Mentioned the menu at The Mongolian Grill
“What the h*** is this?” she quoted herself
I thought I might ask if the plat du jour
As served was a lightly grilled Mongolian
But Wednesday had already made that joke
About Girl Scout cookies and real Girl Scouts
So thoughts of topics carnivorous I let pass
And admired myself in Tasha’s looking-glass
