My Drag Queen Squad

Their fingernails are nine feet high
Saying things like “gosh! I thought I would die!”
Many have mastered a dainty woman’s sigh.
When they are dressed I yell out “Oh my!”

They are beauties in every way.
Cordial and welcoming, “Please come stay!”
Some may be Trans, and some may be gay.
Their feelings intense in every important way.

They are talented, funny and pretty too.
They have charisma, charm, mystical jeu jue.
Their jokes will get rid of all of your sad and blue.
Their hilarity will hopefully enlighten some of you.

Some are victims of society.
A few bullies have been mean as they can be.
In the name of religion, weirdly, you can see
Some have tried to steal their joy and natural glee.

If you have never been to a drag queen show
Let me tell you, these gals really do glow!
They will have you laughing until your sides yell “whoa!”
How will you know until you decide to go?

Absolutely. Cheeeeers! I have been to several in different places. They are delightful. I can't agree more than what you'd said in your poem. Everyone should go to one at least once in their life...I guarantee they'll go back.

I Am from L.A. Of course! My best times at "The Sugarshack" in North Hollywood! The best shows ever! Miss Caren if you love Broadway, try Jesus Christ Superstar!
