POEMS FROM NA KEIKI O HAWAII: HERO WORSHIP, by                    
First Line: Mary felt the barber's shears
Last Line: "that's like the moon my uncle's got."
Subject(s): Hero-worship


Mary felt the barber's shears
Threateningly touch her ears.
"How shall it be cut? Windblown? Rough?"
(Mary's hero is uncle Guff)
"Can I get it the way I like?"
Mother nodded. "Then cut it quite
Near the skin and make a spot
That's like the moon my Uncle's got."
