A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words: The Mobile Barbershop

Contest Image

I see a young man, a barber attending to his client in his mobile barber shop. Another of his client stood close by and awaits for his turn. I think that both the barber and his clients are enjoying the services.

Fresh graduate Jones has no job
His parents expects a lot from him
The society too have no less expectations from him
Having spent so much in training

Jones must have something doing
At least to solve his immediate problems
He cannot depend on his parents forever
Who have already done their part
By giving him sound education

While in school Jones learnt barbing
And fortunately for him too
His parents house is abbot the busy road
So he smiled to himself

I can finally start up something here he said to himself
At least to show my skills to the public
Everything is not all about white collar job

My skills can fetch me cool cash
That is, if I am able to satisfy my clients
With ravishing haircuts and styles
They'll always patronise me

The next day Jones organised a part of the frontage of his parents house
And set up a mobile barber shop
Luck was on his side too!

As both old and young throng his shop
To have him deliver some nice cuts on their hair
With each expressing massive appreciation
For Jones' extra ordinary way of making the cuts

News went round town that a new mobile barber is in town
Soon Jones began to make decent income
From his skills and benevolent customers too

Other existing barbar shops stared feeling his impact
As their customer base began to dwindle
Thanks, but no thanks for to Jones

Now, Jones is planning to expand his business in a bigger way
Manicure, pedicure to be added soon

But the venue for the shop becomes his dilemma. Should he take part of this parents' house?
Or go out to a more suited location within the vicinity?

Adios!!!
