Its about time you shaved

A little bird whispered to my ear,
"S-h-i-g-g-i, isn't it time you s-h-a-v-e-d-?"

Pensive as steel, silent I wondered,
Should I actually shave?

Is it an enticement to abandon fame?

Should I leave fame coz of your shame?
Should I drift coz of your slate?

Leave the experience,
Learn the perches,

Clot the stitches,
Milk the chances,

Trade the roses,
Bring the boses,

Stick the tirades,
Why should I shave?
