Bruce Caitlyn

Bruce/Caitlyn
© Ben Burton 7/14/2015

Arthur Ashe was more than brilliant
As a man and tennis ace
Now, along comes Caitlyn Jenner
Gets a trophy with his name

PCI's call her heroic
Much the same as Michael Sam
But that closet door's been open
Since Ashe won his three Grand Slams

Now, with every new emergence
POTUS gives each one a ring
Glorifying their great courage
For revealing private things

How can Bruce accept an ESPY
For renouncing what he was
Caitlyn opts to be a tranny
How is that a noble cause?

Hope Bruce Jenner will remember
Had he come out years ago
Wealth and fame would turn to cinder
For the world would not have known

Who she is
Just like him
