If I Had a Beard
If I had a beard
I would dye it burgundy
Take it for walks
Comb it lovingly
Laugh at myself in the mirror, try to join the circus, feeling gleeful.
If I had a beard
I would like it, certainly,
Loan it out, give it talks
Love it, and be excited about it always
Laugh along with the neighbors, smile when the little ones pointed it out.
If I had a beard
I would charge everyone a fee to look at it,
To touch it would cost you triple the cash,
All the quarters you could muster up.
From a cookie jar or wherever, if I had a beard.
And I would eat all the cookie crumbs I found in it too.
