Olis' Barber Shop

I woke up this morning and looked at my hair
It needed trimming what little was there
I cranked up my truck and drove to town
Went into Olis’ and there I sat down
Waiting on others that were there first
Listening to the latest from the best to the worst
Olis welcomed me with his great friendly smile
He’s a good friend who goes the extra mile
His Dad was a barber and his Mom was the best
Both are in Heaven enjoying their eternal rest
Olis and I went to Blackshear High
Where the Tigers were king, oh my
Olis is quite a sentimental fellow
Seldom gets upset because he is real mellow
He invited me to the downtown Christmas bash
Bobby Brooker cooked some soup, better than hash
Olis’ calling as a barber is special indeed
Provides for his living and meets a great need
Olis was blessed with a wonderful wife, a daughter and a son
In his eyes, they’ll always be number one
Olis’ shop is better than Floyd’s of the Andy Griffith show
He finished my haircut, now I must go.
