On This Day | The Ballad of the Beards
Author
MinotVoice
In the land of the ludefiskers,
Where a man can grow real whiskers —
Out in Minot, cloven by the dormant Mouse;
As a respite from obsession
Known to people as “Depression”,
Wave the beards of men who say
“es macht nicts aus!”— February 2, 1933 | The Ward County Independent
Why We Chose It
In tough times, grow a beard, have a little fun, write a poem about it. Sisu.
