When I was young
I was afeared
to grow up,
and grow a beard;
but when I grew up,
I grew a moustache
and a fine, dark beard;
and even though I shaved them off
from time to time
(in actuality, as well as in rhyme)
they, generally, could be found upon my face –
… truth be told,
without them I look a disgrace,
and slightly a little bit weird.
