#16: The Man, The Beard
“Norman’s a man who came from the north.
He lived in a land from which snow issued forth.
Among driving ice and cold winds he was reared,
and even when young, he’d a marvelous beard!
This gnarled mane of hair would protect from the cold
As a baby, a child, a young man, and when old.
He once had a wife but she left him. Instead,
she found a new man with more hair on his head!”
