Nothing Of A Man

I am freezing uncontrollably
As my sister sings a lullaby
To a turtle necked priest
With locks of gold
Floating on down
The lake of charms
Waiting for a saint
To carry his soul
Through Satan’s lair
On his way down to the core

I’ve got a feeling
That my sister is still singing
While a Harper Lee character
Is floating in the sun
And  a Southern Gentleman
Is wasting away
And nothing is more appealing
Than a closet full
Of drag junkies
Thinking of a way
To invade the mind of an undetermined
Society of Aristocrats and Newspaper men

I think I agree
With a choice to be free
Even though my incestuous sister still sings
A lullaby of Thomas Jones poem

This was a nice poem... I didn't quite understand it, but it was nice!  

 "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde
