Shave Off the Edges

He stared at the ceiling
All through the long night
And questioned his feelings
Had he done what was right?

Then he went to the mirror
His hair was like hedges
And thought, "I'll ask the barber,
To take some off the edges."

The epiphany hit him.
He cried out, "Forsooth!
I had shaved off the edges!
And lied with some truth!"
