for the lighthouse painted like a barber pole


Folks don’t come for a haircut or shave
to this house that’s tucked into a nave
of a rocky coastline
but I think it’s divine
to save most from a watery grave.

Love it, Larry! heheheh

My own meager effort might be:

This painter had white paint and red;
Let’s paint up a lighthouse he said.
Red stripes on pure white,
The beacon flashed bright,
“Get shave’n haircuts, two bits per head!”
