#sprucing
My friend called Bruce
had a beard
long and loose
If you looked closely,
finding
food there hiding
It didn't bother him,
he was kind and giving,
until a mouse was found there
living
What can I do about this tenant
I have acquired?
this beard I have grown
must be fired
But first find a new house
for my guest
mouse
So I looked closely
into the beard
to find, a small family
had been reared!
With some scissors
Bruce gave a grin,
As I removed the beard
from his chin............... and so the beard got sheared
Outside within a hedge
was an old birds
nest
The beard slotted in
and the family
within
I had a small doubt,
but then
five heads
popped out!
Returning to Bruce,
what was left of his beard
got sluiced
As sharp as a lazar
I used my cut-throat razor
So ends the story of
how I came to
spruce up Bruce.
