The Poet's Five O'Clock Shadow

A poet once went without shaving About his beard no one was raving They all screamed, “Fecal stuff, from Cooties in the buff!” Went after him with razors waving!

Love it, Dale, and the end rhymes too. I write limericks too but I find them difficult. Thanks for stopping by. / M

Very funny! Can visualize that last scene! Those beards sometimes a mess, but then we think of the romantic classic - The Ghost and Mrs. Muir...ahhhh

I am a little gruffy today. I wonder if it was the groundhog that opened his big mouth.
