Vincenzo though your secret’s safe with me
I believe you are a man of many wigs –
How is this so?
“To have one’s ‘hair’ appear
Entirely natural
Requires artistic rotation – so you see
‘Freshly barbered’ – ‘growth’ – ‘hirsute’ – ‘abandon’
When‘re-styled’ the cycle starts again
You only must remember this –
To make the game substantial
Be observed to carry a black comb
Containing a slight smattering of dandruff
Such is easily acquired –
Though I still enjoy our conversation –
It is the only reason now
I patronise this barber
