Movember

Start 
to shape 
a moustache
this time of year,
handlebars, pencils,           
or lines from ear to ear,
funny grins for volunteers,
and charities will remember,
a tidy growth every November

handlebars, pencils, = types of moustaches

Vijay Pandit Date: 11/9/2022 5:05:00 PM Learned something new today. Had no idea about this charity drive for men's health. This is a special poem you wrote David, and reading from your comment below, you promote this cause. Kudos to you!

Tom Cunningham Date: 11/9/2022 10:05:00 AM Well written David, it's a great way to highlight men's health like prostrate cancer, suicide etc. Tom Login to Reply David Kavanagh Date: 11/9/2022 10:55:00 AM Thanks Tom I’ve done a few dodgy Tashes, over a few Movembers, it’s a good laugh and a few quid for men’s health charities, every little helps!
