BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we welcome hirsute poetry and Ben Bellamy is a welcome addition to the Beard of Winter shortlist
Poem for the Hirsute by Ben Bellamy
Some chaps in the morning are enjoying long lie ins,
While other men busy themselves scraping at their chins,
And as they shave and pluck and groom and raze away the lather,
The more hirsute, and more astute just grow a balaclava.
