Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

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

John Lawless June 29, 2023 at 3:14 AM I shaved my mustache once many years ago and Grandma commented "Y'know Johnny, some people just look better with hair on their faces".... Gershon Wolf June 29, 2023 at 7:40 PM Grandma certainly had a way of making you feel like 1.95 cents there...

Kim Rodrigues June 28, 2023 at 7:22 PM 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! Gershon Wolf June 29, 2023 at 7:41 PM 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.
