Six O'clock Shadow

by joseph santacruz   Jul 10, 2012


This guy in the mirror looked a bit boyish and weird
so I put down my razor and grew me a beard.
My mother took one look and said "what were you thinking?"
you look but dont act like honest Abe Lincoln.
It wasnt very full in fact rather thin
my girlfriend said "honey I think theres some dirt on your chin"
Don't be a hater, so mean and ornery
your just mad because I look like Sean Connery.
I looked at myself in the mirror and thought wow I look distinguished
so much better looking with my plainess extinguished.
But all of a sudden the day that I feared
for heavens sake! theres gray in my beard!
Now my once beautiful beard with gray and white is sprinkled
now I look like old man Rip Van Winkle.
"You look like a hobo!" my girlfriend kept ravin'
if you want some of me you best be clean shaven".
I guess I'll kind of miss her when I think of what once was
and the bright thing for Christmas I can be SantaClaus.
