Yes, I grew this beard for a reason.
You ask, “In honor of the season?”
Ho. Ho. Ho.
Not So!
(Though my belly has begun to shake,
I’m afraid that’s
from too much cake.)
It’s my brother’s fault you see…
He was only honest with me.
Now, instead of having the clean shaven chin
Of Burke Devlin or Popeye the Sailor
My skin is more akin
To the incarcerated face of George Taylor!
Remember him? The
famous film-guy,
Who confronted with destroyed Liberty
Knelt in the sand, wet from foaming seas,
And CURSED the human race!
“GOD DAMN YOU ALL TO
HELL!”
Strange Contrast
Remember Him? The
sinless God-Man,
Who surrendered His will to gain our freedom
Knelt in a garden, sweat as bloody drops,
And BLESSED us by choosing to take our place!
And he said, “Father,
if you are willing, let this cup pass from me; however not my will, but yours
be done.”
(Yeah, that’s all true
And Jesus can certainly SAVE you)
But if you’ve got to know why,
On the day we sing of the babe that slept with cows.
I’ve just got to say,
I was only covering up my jowls!
