In Key West

I once met a drag queen in Key West She had a rather admirable chest Between each song she paused While we gave her applause At lip-synching she was doing her best. Written June 12, 2022

(LOL) Not in a million years, Tom. No. I do enjoy a good drag show, however. I find this type of art form (?) incredibly interesting. Many drag queens are perfectly straight, as I understand it. They are entertainers, as I see it, and some of them are extremely entertaining. If you want to go to a fun show and be entertained by masters at their craft, I recommend you give one a go.

Caren, this particular performer was in her eighties! She was the best of the lot, frankly, and she was incredibly talented. I enjoyed her presentation immensely.
