I hope you all are enjoying the holidays, and congratulations to those of you who have not succumbed to the holiday madness. Keep up the good work

Any way, here is a little poem I wrote and hope to shoot on the 15th and post to YouTube... if I can find a decent DV camera in time since mine recently gave up the ghost

The poem is about Toe-tapping family values right wing conservatives in their natural habitat

Here is my Yahoo group where you can see some pics of one of the set pieces I have been working on

Enjoy!

Tale of the Sugarplum Fairies

by

Jema the Story telling Wolf

Come hither young lads,

come hither indeed

and hear my true tail of hypocritouse deeds

Come Fairies and furries

and freaks of all stripes

all plushies and ponies and leather clad dykes

Gather round for a story

O' yea a tale to be told,

and not to be lived lest it turn your hart cold.

Tis a tale of lust and

a tale of need

Tis also a tale of wealth power and greed...

In the land of beltway

where power is made

Sugarplum fairies do their best to get laid

In airports and train stations

they practice their craft

of picking up paper and petting their laps

Swiping their hands and

tapping their loafers

they are shuttled about by the discreetest of chauffeurs

Wagging their fingers and

shaking their fists

but I've heard tell they can take it well past the wrist

Tapping their toes and

swiping their hands

they legislate morality whilst pleasing their glands

Now, Sugarplum fairies

are fairies indeed

but they hide in the closet out of political need

And of all the fine fairies

the hardest see,

is the Sugarplum fairy who's down on his knees

Though they do their best

to remain out of sight,

they'll make them selves known if you get the code right

( Tappity, tap, tap... tap, tap, tap! )

Oh these Sugarplum fairies

are tricky indeed,

at first they confess and then they re-plead

Doing their best

to spin the sad truth

they blame it all on a priest they knew knew in their youth

Oh yes, sugarplum fairies

are fairies indeed

but they hide in the closet out of political need!

Aw da poor Sugarplum Fairies

all down on their knees...

Tapping their toes and spreading their cheeks

Peeking through doorways

and looking through holes...

with stances so wide you'd swear they were trolls!

Why do they suffer

this unbearable life...

of pretending their straight and taking a wife?

Self loathing homosexual

toe tapping trolls...

Playacting at politics, whilst buttering their rolls.

Oh you poor Sugarplum fairies

its not too late to be queer . . .

Come down to the tavern and we'll buy you a beer!

The End!

Epilog...

"Fuck that! I'm not buying those jerks a beer!"

Very amusing! --FLO--

Sadly some of middle America is still so hostile and violent that some need to remain hidden. For those of an older generation that may have been their only way of finding comfort for the moment.

I hear you. I didn't come out of the closet until I was 24. I am not making fun of these guys because they were closeted but because of all the hateful legislation they passed that only serves to keep the closet in place. I hope by pointing out the hypocrisy of their deeds I will be doing my part to make wedge politics a thing of the past.
