Riddle No. 28

#1

Post: # 7130Post Carl »

The fateful decision was made this morning
But this day did not arrive without warning

For quite some time we've been growing together
But apparently our relationship is just fair-weather

Your strange mentality of less being more
Has led to your own members having fallen to the floor

An amputation without anesthetic
For you seems to be copacetic

What am I ?


Answer will be provided next Thursday evening after 21:00.

ANSWER

A haircut

Lines 1-2: The decision to have a haircut was made in the morning. This day was predictable, as your hair could be seen getting longer each day.

Lines 3-4: Your hair has been growing, and you have being growing older with it. But then you "callously" decided to cut it, making your relationship "fair-weather".

Lines 5-6: In this case, "less being more" means that having a haircut is better than not having one. The phrase "your own members having fallen to the floor" refers to your hair being cut i.e. during a haircut your hair falls to the floor.

Lines 7-8: "An amputation without anesthetic" refers to a haircut.
