The Mustached Men

Laying back

I stare at the mustached men

Staring down at me

They all have white hair

And blue eyes

They float on by

With half smug grins

Holding back their pride

Of their mustaches

Some have big fat ones

Some have long wispy ones

Some are bristly

Some sway in the wind

Like an old sock on a telephone pole

Their stern gaze

Judge every face they see

Once in a while

Their faces swell

And get dark and puffy

Then the mustached men cry

And shower the landscape with tears

I wonder what they see

Looking down at us

That makes them so sad
