A Beard

A beard

A beard is an exciting thing to have

A beard is wonderful to hold and to touch

A beard is rough to the touch

I love the feel of it in my hands

A moustache adds a most dashing look

One I’m quite partial to, I must say

A beard

A beard is an exciting thing to have

Tha’ almost makes me wish I were a boy

That I too would have a beard I could trim

And make all fine for the girls to see

And look really quite debonair with my five five

I’d love to have a beard if I weren’t a girl

A beard

A beard is a most dashing thing to have

Tis interesting how many think it’s a bother

Tis sad really how many get bumps when they shave

Or are not allowed to keep beards in their offices

Well I pray for sons who’ll have beards

And a husband who’ll have a beard and love to keep it on

Always!

Tis the revenge of the beards!
