Harry Horsman Poet Rhyme

I Started a Joke

I STARTED A JOKE
(But no one is laughing)

Don’t rile me
I’m different you see
For my name is Garry Lee
Full of haughty hypocrisy.
Tried not to change
When I lost my virginity
But my genes so tight
Did but scream out that night
Told me my gender
Should be a Glenda.

So I dream
Yet a joke to all it seems.

At midnight I fantasize
Becoming one with my mirror
Metamorphosis takes place
Opens up a whole new world
To chase,
For I’ve no need to focus
Having said the magical words
Hocus-pocus
from holy hell I’ve broke free
For I am now she
The beautiful, the delectable
Sandra Dee.

Maria Williams December 19, 2017 at 1:27 AM Sorry that it took me so long to get to this Harry, but here I am. Have been so busy lately. First of all let me thank you so much for entering my contest. Originally when I sponsored the Premium contest I was under the impression that I could pick 3 winners, and 7 place getters, 10 in total. Being my first contest, think I was somewhat confused. After I picked the 3 winners PS competition closed me off,(Of course its all computer generated), I and couldn't put on the 7 Honorary Place getters. You were high on the list Harry. Maria Williams December 19, 2017 at 1:30 AM I loved your interesting take on it. Unfortunately as I said I could put on 3. Once again thank you for entering, and I will know better next time.....kind regards Maria

Scott Thirtyseven November 28, 2017 at 11:36 AM Hey Sandra, love the rhythm, rhyme and pace. Great write. Oh no, and my validation code is "PMS", would you believe? All the best with that my friend.
