I Grew a Beard

I grew a long beard.

It seems so weird

That I would grow a beard.

A lot of things went into my beard.

There was a little mouse.

He built a house inside my beard.

There was a parrot along with a ferret

That also took up residence inside my beard.

A rabbit made it a habit to take comfort inside my beard.

Finally, a goose got loose and waddled her way inside my beard.

Tomorrow, I'm going to shave off my beard.

It's just too weird having all these animals living inside my beard.

Perhaps I'll settle for a mustache instead.
