Ode to a Missing Beard
Once upon a time, I had a beard

It wasn't much
It wasn't full enough, a little patchy
Like the fur a mangy stray dog
But it was mine

It shielded me from the cruel world
It lent me an air of matureness
It was a barrier
And it was mine

Then, one day, woe be to the beard
Due to reasons that shall not be disclosed
It was snipped, and trimmed, and shaved
And it was no longer mine
I was naked!

Then, experimentation began
Searching for the lost beard
Smoothly shaved, mustache, goatee, sideburns
I tried them all - none fit
You see, none of them were mine

Come back, beard!

Cool rhymes, man:)
However, do not cry for the spilled beard, if you"ll be kind enough to let me to paraphrase the proverb. The beard, it probably leaves its marks on a person. Just like a long hair, I guess. Eventually, it will grow. Unless your veto.

PS. You'd never managed to see me with a ponytail, had you?

Don't think I did.. and now that you mention it, we haven't met in Real Life in a long time... will you be in Haifa any time soon? if not, I'll be in Tel Aviv on 18/06 at the US Embassy, would you like to meet for an early lunch or something?

As for the beard, unfortunately there were non-trivial reasons why it had to come off. I hope to grow it again soon.

Maybe. Do not know the details, though. Must fight HPUX.
