My Beard

Some people hate the way it looks

And others how it feels

They say it makes me look too old

I say it’s no big deal

Some say I have a pretty face

And it’s such a shame to hide it

They joke and laugh about the things

I could tuck inside it

Some suggest that I should strip it off

And facial growth avoid

They complain it makes them nervous

I say they’re paranoid

Some think it’s highly unhygienic

And still many deem it crass

They assume one day that it will be shorn

But they can kiss my ass
