Buccaneers of old
Sea legends faithfully told
Their conquest for gold

They are very cute
they look like old men with beards
found in Sri Lanka.

Poring over the holy books
  Hoary heads, stroking their beards

Calibrating ancient laws for 2022
  Eschewing payment, revered volunteers...

There once was a sage man named Rasputin,
With filthy beards, and wore cross made of tin.
While preaching his holy crafts,
He met the queen and her staffs.
He slept with them that got him in a bin....

Goatee beards look good
Very sophisticated as they should
So sculpting on the face
Carefully trimmed so in place
Usually worn by older men
Tinged with grey a distinguished blend.

"Most beards on most men, young or old,
contain the bacterial equivalent of a toilet bowl,
according to the latest research told."
That little fact pops into my head always when
I see anyone kissing bearded men....

A cloud without beards 
so fake it is, comes near
it holds signs but no reality

Keep your hoes at check
Let your gardens rest
That energy is not wasted

Look up there
A cloud without beards is coming
Rejoice not...

February
sends 
down
heavy
snow
trees
seem
old
men
with
beards
as
their
tears
freeze.
Snow 
hides
Nature's
landscapes,
no
birds
dares
to
fly,
but 
they 
stay
under
gutters
dreaming
like
me
of 
spring....

It comes near home
Then it asks;
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who?
This funny bird, Owl
Comes when sleep is sweetest
I will catch it
Tonight
Be-beak it
And shave it's beards
Then listen again
If it can ask
Who are you?
Who?...

Z Z Top and Cousin It took the right approach
     Dark sun glasses and beards detract from scraggly hair
Next time my motley hairdo meets with reproach
     Combing forward I’ll consider, sparing the Nair

Rocket ship boogie.
Earth dwellers watch
Through unwashed beards.

What are they doing? One asks.
Bees? Another guesses.

No one dances around like this
Without a bee down their shirt,
Right?

It is always fun to watch
Rocket ship boogie....

philosophy facts...
start with something quite simple...
something worth saying...

...a barber shaves beards
...of those who don't shave themselves
...who shaves the barber

logic conundrums...
require out of box thought...
...no barber exists......

Boys pretend shave
girls wear mom's clothes
they want time to speed up 
overnight become adults
When grown up they let beards grow
wear any old clothes
after some time 
they want time to slow down
but time is a cold pace maker
pays no attention to childish wishes...

Bob Barber trimmed beards and cut hair;
fresh news with his clients did share.
He knew secrets well kept
and much gossip, except
his young wifey’s ongoing affair.

One old barber who confesses he's weird
Persuades his clients to cut off their beards --
   Quoth he, "You look scary!"
   Razors them un-hairy -- 
Screams they're even scarier fully sheared

I grew out so many-a-beard
I grew out so many hair-do’s
Have you heard happiness appeared
In brighter days, beyond the blues?
I had several brown beards in the past
And boy, did I color my fragile hair too fast
And probably ruined it a little
But, I’m positive that I’m living life with a giggle...

This free love session
has made a man out of me
barefoot girls dancing everywhere!
beards and banjos
the young hippie chick
with the flowers in her hair
I'd love to go on a trip myself, amen
said the old man selling brownies
and then the band
fires up and I hear an
overwhelming roar
and I gravitate
to the music...

& i see the clouds
smiling beside
my war-fed clan
they come, wearing
some new garments
behind the flood-gates
the forlorn gates
of old niger’s maidens
clean shaven
are the elders
now clean’d of
just yesterday’s beards
elderhood is gone!
siting on mat
aweful are their looks
they see nothing
of this new new moon
coming
to the homeland
oh, niger!...

Presence in class made a student
to shade rapid tears endlessly
I asked her one day
“Dear student tell me;
bright, sharp and smart you are
why do you cry in class
every time I come to teach?”
and she told me;
“Whenever I see you, Sir,
When I look at your long beard
I remember my He-goat
that a thief stole from me
a few years back!”...

*Tainted Tongue*

turbulent torrent puking
rustic waves, feigning
passion gulping gaunt
horizon; hoisted bow
receding thuds pounding
punctured mists mumbling

thirty one years
creature in tier;
human, ape, bear

bounty beards blushing
farcical feets' felony
trudged earth moaning

sans tamed language
yet Island's sage.

The Ziggy Cats are in town tonight.
Their music and beards are out of sight.
We’ve got Tom on the drums, Pete on the slide.
We’re dancing up a storm as if electrified.

Our feet are moving in spite of our minds one said.
Some of the insecure ones dance as if they are dead.
But the oldies and goodies are having a fine time.
Dancing with the Ziggy Cats, enjoying their rhyme....

hoisted hanker trips
cranky cause clipped
soapy sauce seeped'n
in taunted tease
smoldered spiritualism scribbled
on dark dwindles

gaunt gifts sieved
sumptuous seal retrieved
haughty hoists spilled

bounty beards blushed
surmounting syllabic touch
gullible phrases gulped

porous pen puked
drenching vying view.
