Crumbs from breakfast
Bits of egg
Sticky Jam
And hint of ham
Slurps of tea
The smell of beer
Coffee Cocoa
Completes the set
Scratch it
Lick it
Suck it pot
Or save for later
That’s beardy joy
The second of two poems inspired by a visit to my local Barbers Shop.

Hairy chins
Curly chops
Scrubby stubble
Fluff face
Manly moustache
Matey bush
Bushy sideburns
Hairy Muff
Twiddle pointy
Handle bars
Up they curly
Down they droop
Full set navy
Chin strap guards
Goaty artist
Stubble brush
Van Dyke swanky
Verdi twirl
Balbo pointy
Bandaloz the works
Trimmed and tweaked
Saucered and blowed
Oiled and waxed
Good to go
