The Bearded Woman
Each time she noticed,
She had meant to pluck
The three black hairs
But the days were short;
Her fingers touched her chin then forgot
Thus fatigue grew curling into wisdom.

"Annie Jones was described as having the manners of a society lady. Exhibited by Barnum at a very young age, she was kidnapped by a Phrenologist."
What more is there to say, really?

I had some bio-chem classes a few years ago with a bearded woman.
It took all I had to not ask her why she didn't shave or wax or bleach, even.
That brightbytes link is great! Thanks!

So far, she's only sprouted some sort of elbow whisker.
She's pretty proud of it, but hasn't really noticed if she's able to feel anything with it.
