I Grew a Beard

I grew a beard

When the stubble appeared

I looked like a zero

More hobo than hero


I grew a beard

A path I almost veered

When people started asking

How long this fluff was lasting


I grew a beard

I thought you'd sneered

At my lovely bristles

A face full of thistles


I grew a beard

But it's not what I feared

I thought it would itch

Until full-bodied and rich


I grew a beard

I thought it looked weird

But it looks quite good

Much better than it should


I grew a beard

I didn't get jeered

Just got asked a question

About my hairy direction


I grew a beard

Glad I persevered

It doesn't look too bad

My view's now ironclad


I grew a beard

Now it's quite revered

It's talk of the town

A metaphorical crown


I grew a beard

And now I'm cheered

A sophisticated man

Part of an elegant clan


I grew a beard

It's got dog-eared

I don't have a trimmer

How can I get it thinner?


I grew a beard

With food it's smeared

Why won't it behave?

I think I'll just need to shave
