Dear Governor Gordon,
May I ask who cuts your hair?
I assume someone in Cheyenne -
or someplace close to there.
When I see you on the TV
your hair looks mighty good.
If I just knew who dun’ that
I think mine also could.
Indeed, it is a long ol’ drive
from Encampment all that way.
But, with an early start
I’d be back in just a day.
As you know, shops here are closed
and all over the State, I guess.
If you do not let them open
We’ll become a hairy mess.
You see, I’ve always kept well trimmed
since I was just a lad.
Now after weeks without one
my durned hair is lookin’ bad.
When I was just a youngster
that chore my dear mom did.
I had a lot of pride in school-
I was the best trimmed kid.
The Army kept me trimmed well, too,
since then, my barber friend.
Now, after 80 years have past
my haircuts may soon end.
I have a mental problem
which has plagued me now for years.
I get a case of jitters
when my hair grows past my ears.
I’d love just one more haircut before I pass away.
I’d tip your barber fairly.
That would really make my day!
I’d be so dadburn grateful
for your barber’s name and place
that I’d do my best this next-go-around
to help your Governor’s race.
If you feel you just can’t share this,
then perhaps you might could tell of any “Bootleg Barbers” who a haircut they might sell.
