“a hairy lip”

Posted on July 22, 2020 by purplepeninportland

Written for:  The Twiglets #186 – “a hairy lip”

A man can stand up well
to a hairy lip. A woman
has to wax.

She does not like
peaches because
the fuzz touches
her lips.

he kisses her
tries to touch her lips lightly
wire hairs poke cheek

An old woman hailing from Derry
went to visit new grandchild by ferry.
When the boat docked
her grandson was shocked.
He said, Grandma there’s hair on your lip.

    I’ve some relatives somewhere… yep women with hairy upper lips.
    Fun reads! True some face hairs are not soft!
    Some have just single long hairs on a chin… clipping seems useless – plucking seems to slow regrowth…
