Scalped!

This 'Shearing' took place this evening. My young friends Heidi, Matt and Nick were sponsored by a number of people, in an effort to raise funds for Charlie, Heidi and Matts' little boy and for the organisation BIBIC


Scalped!



She’s losing her hair, our brave young Heidi
No trouble now to keep it neat and tidy;
For the sake of a challenge she’s taken this on,
To be scalped is her choice and soon it is gone;
As Paula takes scissors and razor in hand
She snips it away, on the carpet to land.
Charlie is laughing till he’s fit to bust
But more is to come, who next bites the dust?
Matt and friend Nick are joining the fun
They have agreed to get their hairy legs done!
Jo Pearson surely is taking delight
As they screech and shout at their sorry plight;
She’s removing the hair by waxing their legs
‘Please pull it off gently’ is what our Nick begs!
Matt sits with his arms crossed over his breast
Afraid he is going to lose the mat on his chest!
It’s all being done for a very good cause,
To shouts of laughter and much loud applause.
