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
