Glabrous

Not so long ago, not too far away
A boy looked into his mirror
No signs of facial hair
To our bucks great horror

So he borrowed his father’s razor
Lathered his face up
Swung here and there and everywhere
Now that should change his luck

How could others have goatees
Soul patches and handlebars
And all he had to show
Was a face, now filled with scars

If there ever was a tooth fairy
There must be a beard troll
An expert in pogonotrophy
who plants hair whole

So deals were made
And sacrifices thought through
Today our boy sports a dashing French beard
With pride he flaunts it too

Only, our boy
Our embodiment of joy
For never once would guess
That the Lord in his infinite wisdom
Would replace his predicament with glabrousness

Therefore, be careful what you wish for
Reiterating the moral
To have hair and lost, is worse
Than to never had hair at all.
