Double Wonger:
According to ‘her’ that has
To be obeyed
The hairs on my chin
Cannot be shaved
She likes the look and
Definitely the feel
Of the soft little hairs now
Part of the deal
Closer inspection certainly
Revealed more
Two little whiskers popped out
Of one pour
A ‘Double Wonga’ she shouted
With glee
Then foraged around but
Couldn’t find three
Growing a Goatee was
Risky for sure
It’s a prickly business she
Likes to endure
But the stubbly look and
Itchy sensation
Were impossible to handle, in
The beard revelation
So in a moment of weakness
And utter despair
I reached for my razor, and shaved off
This hair
Looking back, I begin
To wonder!
Should I have done it sooner.....as I look
10 years younger
