On a Little Man with a Very Large Beard
How can thy chin that burden bear?
Is it all gravity to shock?
Is it to make the people stare?
And be thyself a laughing stock?
When I behold thy little feet
After thy beard obsequious run,
I always fancy that I meet
Some father followed by his son.
A man like thee scarce e'er appeared —
A beard like thine — where shall we find it?
Surely thou cherishest thy beard
In hopes to hide thyself behind it!
Is it all gravity to shock?
Is it to make the people stare?
And be thyself a laughing stock?
When I behold thy little feet
After thy beard obsequious run,
I always fancy that I meet
Some father followed by his son.
A man like thee scarce e'er appeared —
A beard like thine — where shall we find it?
Surely thou cherishest thy beard
In hopes to hide thyself behind it!
