Well, I Declare

Well I declare! Gawd, did you hear the minister just dyed his hair, a reddish tint with purple streaks to match his flowered untied “sneaks”. I do declare! I saw him there buying thong-style underwear, to match the tightly binding jeans that held him in with bulging seams., caressing every part of him Dear Gawd, it’s got to be a sin. Saw him wiggle, dance and sway in a most peculiar way. Purse his lips now pearly red flounce his hair, toss his head. I fear he’ll lead us into hell at the next ringing of the bell, but I must follow him you see from aisle 6 seat twenty three. But I declare, he’s looking fine and dancing in A Chorus Line for He became a “sistered” brother played his part to help another. Shook the rafters, wooed the crowd made the humble roaring proud. Said to those with faces set: “I never should have took that bet.” APPLAUSE CURTAIN CALL WELL I DECLARE!!!! John G. Lawless for Well I Declare! Poetry contest sponsor Judy Konos
