"Yeet!"said the Zoomer. “That’s totally cash!
Old Man, you got drip out the door!
Like, how did you grow such a serious ‘stache?
That’s fire! It’s down to the floor!”

“The obvious answer,” the Boomer professed:
“I’m highly reluctant to snip
the hair (as you could’ve so easily guessed)
that grows on my upper-most lip.”

“That’s valid,” asserted the curious kid.
“I’m just a bit salty because
my facial hair’s always, like, coming in mid.
So, how do I glo-up my fuzz?”

“Perhaps,” said the codger, “that noisome device
(you’re holding a foot from your head)
has caused you to pay a regrettable price:
it rendered your follicles dead.”

“Facts,” said the boy, as he twiddled his screen.
“For real, though—no trying to cap:
You rizzing the Gucciest snacks on the scene?
Would a ‘stache get me ladies that slap?”

“No woman,” the senior said, “(in her right mind)
would swoon at your pitiful scruff.
As for snacking, be warned: the mustachioed find
consumption decidedly tough.”

“Bet,” said the shaver. “But, Fam, I admit
you got me all wondering, like,
just what about having a ‘stache is so lit?
(I’m filming, so talk in the mic.)”

“You dunce!” cried the old-timer, mulberry-faced.
“Go ask me ten minutes ago!
How much of my day are you aiming to waste?
Grow one and maybe you’ll know!”
