Ode to a Blue Beard
Ode to a Blue Beard
Abandon ship for diapers and class
T-Shirts and jeans, no rules against sass.
And the daily shave, it was gone (says, Ange: alas!)
Day after day, a new beard grew like grass.
13 years in the Navy gave way
To rock and punk bands, practice each day,
And on one fateful St. Patty’s Day
A beard was dyed to Angela’s dismay.
It started out green, to celebrate the Isle,
And then became blue (to Angela, most vile)
One year later, it has its own style
A bit straight, a bit curly, it goes on for a mile.
Until one bright day, inspired by Chuck,
A lightbulb went off, a deal was struck.
It’s for the children, they have so much pluck
We need money from you (and a whole lot of luck).
Please give much and give often, your gift will provide
Money for research to help stem the tide
Of childhood cancer, a cause bona fide,
And of course, there’s an extra perk on the side.
Should his family and friends $1000 raise,
Russ will shave the beard from the past 400 days.
No beard, no ‘stache, no sideburns will stay.
It will all be gone, to Russ’ dismay.
(And to think- all you need to do is pay!)
Please help Russ reach his goal of $1000 for childhood cancer research, donate here:

(and here's where I dazzle you with pictures of the baby... go ahead, reach for your wallet. Thomas loves you)
