About the Author

ABOUT THE AUTHOR The following was written by the author to his granddaughter Raven in 2004: They all call me Dave. Dave who won’t shave. I look like I sleep in a cave. I know I seem weird With my wilderness beard, But I can’t seem to make it behave. But don’t think I’m scary Because I’m so hairy, So furry, unkempt, and hirsute. Just think of my hair Like a warm, fuzzy bear, And you might even find that I’m cute. “But why,” queried Raven, “Are you always unshaven? It seems to me rather uncouth.” So I said, just to faze her, ‘My beard swallowed my razor! And that, Dear, is simply the truth.’
