David Kavanagh Poet Nonet

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 November 9, 2022 at 5:05 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! David Kavanagh November 10, 2022 at 1:31 AM Thanks Vijay, I’m not sure how popular Movember is across the pond, but it certainly has its steady flow of volunteers over this side, nothing too it, just grow a bit of lip hair, a no brainier for charity, cheers David

Julie Draper November 9, 2022 at 11:41 AM This is a great nonet! Very easy to read, rhyme and flow is terrific. Awesome :) David Kavanagh November 9, 2022 at 11:55 AM Heya Julie, and all for a good cause too, I believe it all started Down Under about 20 years ago or so, thanks so much for stopping by, cheers David

Tom Cunningham November 9, 2022 at 10:05 AM Well written David, it's a great way to highlight men's health like prostrate cancer, suicide etc. Tom David Kavanagh November 9, 2022 at 10:55 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! Cheers David
