There was once a man with a beard,
Who says "i know I look weird! '
In the fuzz lived a cock and a cat,
A hen and a tiny brown rat.
The cat liked to purr and the rat liked to run,
But soon their fighting had begun.
The cock gave a call, the hen felt blue,
The beard was a mess, what could they do?
The man wanted love, a lady so sweet,
But with this wild beard, none he could meet.
The animals squabbled, his chances grew thin,
No lady would ever look in.
Then one day, a girl came near,
She laughed, and said "no need to fear! "
I love your beard, it's quite the sight
And with creatures inside, it just feels right!
The cat and the rat stopped their fight,
The cock and the hen slept through the night.
The man found love, his beard at peace,
And the ruckus inside finally ceased.
