BEARDED LADY Sue woke and looked terribly weird She’d sprouted a black bushy beard To get rid of this look Should she wax or just pluck Would the re-growth be worse than feared? Sue tweeted her best friend called Mary (Sue knew that HER nipples were hairy) She said try using Veet It is very discrete … and the re growth isn’t too scary! The poem I posted yesterday was deep and sad ... Ilene Bauer commented she was more used to my humourous poems ... so I came up with this little ditty for her 12~29~16

I'll never understand why the good Lord put hair on a man's face. I never had the desire to grow one. For one thing, they are messy, and I've seen men with more food particles in their beards than on a tray of a fast-food eatery! Yuk! Enjoy your limerick. You're getting to be quite proficient with this genre. / M

Are those nose hairs or a mustache? You'd need vice grips to pluck that. Funny stuff...

It looks like nose hairs to me - the pic sure is quite creepy to say the least!:-) hugs Jan xx

This is serious! Very humourous. When you see her in the darkness, you'd better run.

Lol! Jan, this is so funny. The picture alone had me laughing. Then I read the poem and literally laughed out loud. Your humor is so refreshing to the soup. Well done. A without a doubt seven:-) Alexis

Thanks Alexis I wrote a fun poem in response to Ilene's comment on my poem yesterday - it was a dark sad write and she is more used to my humourous side... but I never know where my muse will take me:-) hugs Jan xx

Actually Jan you have written a poem on a semi hot topic in the US, transgenders. They were doing a story just the morning about a little boy (Transgender) who was kicked out of the cub scouts. I think the poem is funny, as I happen to be a very hairy male. I couldn't imagine a woman dealing with it.

Jan Allison

Thanks for your comment Daniel. I agree hit is a very 'hot' topic and so any more people are aware of the issue. We had 2 transgender students at the school I worked at. As for bearded ladies they often used to work in the circus in freak shows ... think we have come a long way since then:-) hugs Jan xx

Thanks for the lovely comment and I hope you are resting up Charma - gee I never know what my muse will come up with, yesterday's poem was deep and sad so when Ilene commented I had to go with a funny one:-) hugs Jan xx

This was funny Jan. I guess trying to shave those hairy nipples would be just a touch dangerous. :) Heck, even the thought of plucking gives me the creeps.

Ha ha ha - yes it brings tears to my eyes thinking about it .. Not long after I joined I wrote a poem about 'Mary' - I do worry about my muse lol http://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/bawdy_limerick_564549 :-) Hugs Jan xx
