Its Middle Name, Versatility

Slick it down with wax It fits a crook Tho' it could also be a circus-master's look Let it grow long, wooly and wild It's an over-age, curly-haired child's Squish it together into three teen males' little nubs Presto! -- a psychotic 'student rifle club' Eliminate its last faint trace A dapper gent your life has just graced A moustache is versatile, you will agree be it 'barbershop-quartet-ish' or a deep mystery

I shaved my mustache once many years ago and Grandma commented "Y'know Johnny, some people just look better with hair on their faces"....

Grandma certainly had a way of making you feel like 1.95 cents there...

LOL! My son in law likes to grow his red-viking beard out in the Winter, oil it up with good smelling scent. Love that last line!

My oldest son has a bright-red lumberjack beard. I used to, back in the day. If I let mine grow now, it would be 'strawberry-white' and wispy. lol.
