This question may seem weird
But have you seen my beard?
These nigh-on months it hides to my dismay
For in these COVID times
It slips easily from mind
And never has it seen the light of day
Each morning I have paused
To spy this facial gauze
Then covered it and tucked it all away
I have kept it out of sight
While it’s turned from dark to white
I could fool reindeer and ride on Santa’s sleigh
But for now covered it stays
No white wool will reach your gaze
Until COVID’s gone, no facial hair displays!
