Another week of poetry from my writing class, this time I decided against writing about urine and wrote about my beard instead. Enjoy.

The Story of My Beard

Tell me what I should do about my beard.
Should it be shaved or allowed to stay?
This decision is harder then I had feared.

It’s itched and annoyed since it appeared,
Though it doesn’t look too bad in its own way.
Tell me what I should do about my beard.

Think what I’d look like when it’s disappeared,
well then my second chin enters the fray
This decision is harder then I had feared.

I say to friends I may shave and I’m jeered,
but my family thinks a very different way.
Tell me what I should do about my beard?

Modelled by so many idols that I have revered,
Dylan, Darwin, Norris, Connery and Che
This decision is harder then I had feared.

As the time of my decision is neared
all I can think of is to delay.
Please tell me what I should do about my beard,
because this decision is harder then I had feared.
