Do angels have some hair beneath the arm?

Do angels have some hair beneath the arm

Or wing?  If so, just where?  Beneath the wing

Would make the hairs seem heavenly.  No harm

In that, correct?  But would Christ really sing

The beauty of their armpit puff of fur?

Would he wax eloquent if it were blond,

Or black, or brown.  What praise would it incur

If His archangels trilled in love beyond

The usual for body hair sub-wings

Or shoulders?  Certainly there’d be no sweat

In tufts of them, or if there were, no pings

Of stench would cause archangel nose to fret.

  Instead, archangel nose would subtly sense

    Just Bethlehem-like myrrh and frankincense.
