794 - That man Todd

Three Word Wednesday requires participants

to use the three words of the week in a composition.

The words this week were: nervous, puzzled, and lump.

That man Todd.

The nervous will oft close their eyes

As the barber deftly applies

The edge of the blade

To the lather he’s made

And to move is considered unwise.

But one barber with a habit most odd

Would dispatch all his clients to God.

He would then disguise

Their bodies in pies

Which puzzled the homicide squad.

To his credit, the cops all confessed

That his pies were considered the best.

What brought them up trumps

Was the absence of lumps

And a sauce that always impressed.
