O once noble and pristine
coming out of your wrapping like a bridegroom adorned for the wedding day;
bright
now bent, mis-shapen, chewed.
Bearing the scars of ten-thousand battles
against plaque and decay
reduced to the shameful role of an emergency moustache brush
Ah, you did not see this coming
How like us you are
I cannot part with useless you
