Ode to the departure of a recent friend...

You came into my life so fast... and at first I was skeptical.
You seemed to fit so well... But something wasn't right...
So today I bid you farewell, down the drain you will travel,
As have so many that have come before you...

So today I say goodbye, though I loved you for an instant...
...But could not keep you forever...
So today I grab the clippers, then lather you up with foaming gel...

So today I bid farewell... to my facial hair... Good bye!
