Blackjack’s Beard

 

Have you ever lost anything on land, air, or sea?

It’s in Blackjack’s beard I can almost guarantee

 

What started with just razors, scissors, and the like

Soon expanded to sparrows and freshwater pike

 

Unable to trim it Blackjack let it grow

Now it swallows things up like an ocean undertow

 

Not just fish and birds; bikes, cars, trucks, houses too

The entire Ulti Mountain of Western Peru

 

Nearly everything and anything under the sun

Including that one thing that you lost (you know the one)

 

It swallows up planes like a great white swallows up barracuda

More sailors’ ships than a certain triangle near Bermuda

 

All those toy parts, batteries, and your holiday wreath

Atlantis, the missing link, General Washington’s teeth

 

How does this story end? I really wish I could tell

You guessed it! The end of this rhyme? It’s in there as well!
