Facade

What's behind your well groomed facial hair
Pretend not to have a single care
Whiskers that hide scars
Moustache handlebars 
Detours to avoid the barber's chair

such a witty write...my son started growing his beard longer and longer and i think it's his ploy to avoid the barber's chair as often as he can... :) enjoyed this poem ....hugs
