Don Ennis
An editor from ABC news
Had a case of the transgender blues
He showed up in a dress and a wig
And swore he had not had a swig
Claiming that he had begun
Hormone therapy 101
He said that the line had been drawn
He wanted to now be called Dawn
He felt he was a woman trapped
Within a male body wrapped
He said he’s splitting from his wife
And planned to live a woman’s life
But three months later – change of heart
Said he woke up with a start
Said his mind was just a blank
Thought his wife had played a prank
Dressed him up in bra and wig
Fake ID with DAWN typed big
But undressed – looking in the mirror
Don Ennis saw things so much clearer
For there were boobs where hair had been
Boobs you wouldn’t find on men
Hormone imbalance had done the trick
And hormones just might make it stick
He said that now he understood
To be a man – a man for good
He’d have to change his chemistry
And undergo some therapy
His three month change a wondrous gift
But back to man he had to shift
He said he would remain a straight
And lead the fight on those who hate
But as for him he would admit
A woman’s life just didn’t fit
Months pass - - -
Then in a note to just a friend
He said I’m changing course again
Don Ennis has the gender blues
