I have never grown a beard
Often daydreaming of having one
Being released from the daily chore of shaving
No more razor nicks and bloody faces
I want a long flowing beard
Like a ZZ Top rock star
It will be my manly badge of honor
Opening new doors for me
Acting in craft beer commercials
Hired for Santa jobs at Christmas
I will bond with other bearded men
Get some ugly massive tattoos
Buy a Harley Davidson
But what about my balding head
Should I still shave that daily
Or let the non-balding parts grow wild
To match my grizzly facial hair
Perhaps a braided pony tail
The possibilities are endless
There is however one big obstacle
Something of a major beard roadblock
If I skip shaving for a single day
My stubble feels incredibly irritating
I have on a very few occasions
Reached a second day without shaving
That double stubble becomes unbearably itchy
It inevitably never gets grown into a third day
Nothing like a smooth shaved face
I guess I will never be a craft beer TV star
ZZ Top will never ask me to join their band
I will not be wearing a red suit and frightening children at Christmas
Harley Davidson sales will plummet
Tattoo parlors will go out of business
Now is the time to buy stock in razor blade manufacturers
No more double stubble trouble
