My Daughter Says I Dress Gay By Christopher Cooper Yes, I have been up and I have been down Walking the streets in a cobblestone gown Looking for spaces to hide used dental floss. Saying I am an expert in pasta sauce. I do things that aren't done by most. Proud of myself, not afraid to boast, Wishing on starlight gone past the earth. Picking up ladies in dry dock berth. A millennium of stale pick-up lines, Wolf whistles for women long past their prime. Proud of the skirmish grins from old spring chickens, Mocking the giggles from young adolescents. You say why don't I put myself out to pasture Requiring me to move a hell of a lot faster. An old codger like me refuses to give a satisfactory moan. Just a melancholy Joe dressed in gay and unassuming tones Written March 11th, 2002 © on Mar 11 2002 12:22 AM PST   0 • 14
