An Ode to the beard

Come Listen closely and you shall hear

A poem so touching you might shed a tear.

It's mighty and funny and maybe a little weird,

But ladies and gentlemen here is my Ode to the beard...

Since the dawn of time

Man was to grow

Some Fur on his face

so that all would know

That he was manly And strong,

in the least, very brave

How did he show this?

He just didn't shave

Over time through his face

Came long flowing locks

Some Black, some white

And some red, like a fox

Some curly, some straight

Some thick, and some thin

But one thing is for sure

They are all mighty men

Who has a beard?

Is the question before us,

The biggest and best

Jesus Christ and Chuck Norris

Abe Lincoln, Gangis Khan,

Vikings, pirates, and 1/2 the presidents

Warriors and kings

From the simple to the decadent

Mountain men and monks

Men who were strong and to be feared

All had one thing in common

On their face, was a beard

Cultures are different

But men are the same

Hair grows on their face

Like lions mane

Mustaches are slick

And goatees are blast

But compared to the beard

They all come in dead last

Some folks hate beards

But get off our case

A beard your friend

It's stuck to your face

Facial hair is tough

It cant be unmade

Nothing can stop it

    ....Except a razorblade

In the winter it will help

And your cheeks won't freeze

And in the summer when it's hot

It will cool in the breeze

And guys let me tell you

It's makes the girls all a flutter

And it cuts through their hearts like a hot knife through butter

This ode is not finished

Dear Foe and dear friend

For the praise can continue

For hours on end.

But for now, I hope you love beards

And now feel inspired

But I really must stop

My beard is getting tired

If you'd like to join me

And join the beard show

just lay down your razor

and let your beard grow

What did you think about my poem?  Are beards your favorite or most favorite?
