Beardacious

There was a man who was quite weird
With a chunk sticking from his beard
So I helped myself
And pulled out an elf
Which wasn’t as bad as I feared

But when we thought that his strange beard
Was in fact totally cleared
Ten kangaroos
Jumped out too
Which made all the townspeople cheer

That’s when a brave man volunteered
To reach one last time in his beard
When out did leap
A flock of sheep
And at least two of them were sheared

At last nothing else appeared
From his extraordinary beard
But we were, I declare
Sucked into his hair
And the town and I all disappeared

Wow! David! Now I don't feel so bad about letting my "stubble" go an extra day or two between trimmings.

Congratulations on your win, David! You have truly created a tale of fantasy! I think kids would love this poem. I know the little kid in me found great delight in thinking about might come next from that beard! Love that you used limericks to tell your fantastical tale! Blessings.

Hilarious limericks. Beards are overflowing storage units, in some cases. Thanks for the laughs.
