My hubby shaved his beard away
late on one October day,
Preparing to become a member
Of those who call next month Movember.
It’s not so hard for him to grow
his facial hair can be shaved so
it forms a rather daring fashion
to go with biker style moustachin’.
People donate money just to find
Whose lips will look the oddest lined.
The cash goes to the fund the science
That will end a cancer cell alliance.
So thanks to all who grew a ‘stache
You raised awareness and some cash.
Prostate care will save the lives
Of families’ most beloved guys.
One day
in physics class
I pulled a string off the edge of my pencil case.
I dropped it
from a height of about six inches
and traced the pattern it made on my notepaper
before picking it up
and doing it again.
When the class was finished
what I had drawn
looked distressingly
like pubic hair.
It is November.
In my bed, I listen yet
for mosquito buzz.
