Like Napoleon, I was born.
He led the French army,
I made sure the sheep got shorn.
And while I was covered deeply in sheep's doo,
he met his Waterloo.
And when on Saint Helena he died,
none of my sheep cried....

When the dastardly woman Helena
Arrives to collect our souls
And cast them into the lake of purgatory,
She ponders whether she shall find
The soul of a young, zealous woman
Worth more nickels of eternity,
Than the areolas of a haughty bastard?...

There once were three girls from Athena
Sweet Lena, Helena and Celestina 
        Each to make a bit of dough
        All set to put on a show
Gave fame’s wheel a spin in packed arena

On the day I departed,
              that I left you,
               Elena...
               the sun darkened
                behind the nebula...
                the moon teared
                most pity...
                Oh  poor little...
                 Helena...!...

A supermoon 
Larger than Jupiter
Causes the King of Roman Gods
To feel small.

The unexplored region
Beyond the Milky Way
Waits a millennium
For the first arrivals

Colonists name their new world 
Prosperina, goddess of agriculture
Wine and freedom~
For they have escaped tyranny!

A drag queen caused quite a disruption
with her latest drag show production.
While she sang with aplomb,
the full show was a bomb.
That's why she's called Eva Destruction.

At the Elks Club, the men blow a gasket
when they see the act for the Grand Banquet.
Her singing is so fine
and her dance is divine.
She's a drag queen: Helena Handbasket....

Hoarder holds her hostage, heaps heavy history hysterics.
Her husband, horrific. Harried hugs humiliate. Hops, hits
hags — harmed honeymoon. Hiss harkened hellbound Harris.
Hysterical Helena hinted hate, harbinger hackles heightened, hot.
How? Hagfish homicide? Herbs? Homer helps Helena hack!

Hermia and Helena are ready to fight each other.
The same can be said for Demetrius and Lysander.
To keep this party of four from throwing a fist,
I will cover them all with a thick morning mist.
They will fruitlessly chase each other without a doubt.
Each one will fall asleep when they are all tired out.

Based on the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare

Helena wants to be a fashion designer.
Her daddy was talked into buying her an old mannequin.
She loved it ever so much and spent days with it.
What is she creating in there? He asked her mother.
Why don’t you go find out, she suggested.
He asked if he could take a peek.
Sure! Helena said. Come on in!
She had fashioned a bra out of bottle caps.
Her daddy was speechless.
He asked his wife is Helena planned to wear it.
That’s anybody’s guess, his wife said. She is sixteen.
