“A toothbrush, please.”
“What?” I stepped back from the fool. “How about a pencil?”
“Charlie Chaplin never had a pencil.”
A joke couldn’t hurt. “You think he wrote everything by pen?”
He did not even smile. Simply pointed to his upper lip.
I opened the door of my barbershop and saw him out.
Afterword
The mission: to write a 53-word piece about a moustache.
Initially, this had me stumped.
But, there are so many interesting names for the different styles of moustaches – e.g., horseshoe, handlebar and walrus. I found inspiration there.

lve been married to my husband for 42 years and never have l annalised what type of moustache he has! After studying various images, l think he has the painters brush moustache but lll tell him it’s the professors moustache, as that use to be his profession. ha ha.
Another enjoyable and interesting piece of writing Kane.
The painter’s brush! I believe that’s the cousin to the Chevron moustache. The professor’s – perfect, haha. Thanks, Kirsten
