This Old Man

This old man with a most crazy beard
Was but walking along when some children sneered

They said aloud with jeer in their voice
"I can't believe he wears that by choice!"

Off they went running, straight away
Later those same children passed by his way

This old man said, with a glint in his eye
"This beard is my trophy and I shall soon die

I've lived how I wanted and listen hear son
When you're my age this beard will protrude from your bum!"
