::Ode to a Well-Trimmed Hipster Beard::

(Note: this is meant as a farce, okay XD )

I was skeptical of you
at first, but you have finally won me

You are the face of the indie music band
no pun intended

You are endless boards on Pinterest
entwined with rare forest flowers

You are Duck Dynasty's
squandered potential reclaimed

You are put-together
best paired with v-neck and saddle backs

You are mature yet young
unlike cheap scruff or skraggled whiskers

Most of all, you are
more than your components
you are an image, an idea, a concept,
so much more than solely keratin

May you forever grace
the faces of a chosen few
may you never fall to commonplace
but endure as a symbol
of a subculture lovingly, pristinely
maintained.

-Fin.
