"Lord, leaning over my barber's chair,

give me the steadiness of hand to avoid the ears,

the speed of eye to spot the cowslicks

and the wisdom to know

when to stop talking before the awkward silence sets in.

May my fades be sharper than my wit

and may every client leave looking like a masterpiece,

not a disaster.
