disclaimer. i don't own Gil Grissom, but if i did, that scruff would still be there, and he wouldn't be doing much work at CSI...

a/n: as of last night, reports have confirmed that Grissom indeed is beardless. Which, i am very upset about, seeing as Billy no longer has that well-trimmed bachelor look. So, in our sadness, TroddenBlack and I have expressed our sadness through the art of writing. Here's to the scruff!

I suppose it could be from Sara's POV. (hey! that rhymes!)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scruff, scruff, oh beautiful scruff,

Now that you're gone, life is tough.

No more salt and pepper hair,

Now it's just bare skin that's there.

The scruff paired with those eyes,

Oh, what a gorgeous surprise.

Now it's replaced by skin so tan,

Grissom's still a scrumptious man.

But it's not the same, I must admit,

It makes me want to have a fit.

Oh scruff, oh scruff, where have you gone?

As well-trimmed as Martha Stewart's lawn.

Before the scruff, he was always flirting,

He was happier then, that's for certain.

Now once he's happy, and not for pretend,

Because he's got his little lady-friend.

So Bare Skin Grissom has made his return,

To get along with it, I'll just have to learn.

Oh scruff, you're longer in your rightful place,

On dear Grissom's chiseled face.

So sadly, my friend, we must part,

The face you graced was a work of art.

But no matter; the face is still there,

So as long as I have Grissom, I shouldn't care.

the end.

a/n: tell me wht you think...oh, and your specualtions about the scruff are welcome too!
