EYES

Eyes, eyes and only eyes

only yours and only for you

Must you ask

and must I answer?

That question, probing my masculinity

“What do you want?”

Eyes, eyes and only eyes

ABOUT (and Accents) (and Women) [and gayness]

There was a little story 'boot

A man named John

He was a man

True man from true man

But that's hardly important.

Or is it?

Gee, they sure pronounce “about” oddly up in Canada

You can find even stranger pronunciations in Newfoundland

But that's only in the East

Try out Western Canada

Where a washrag

Is a washcloth

I ought stop before Colleen harbors a resentment against me

As she gurgles and moans

Are there problems with her intestines?

There may be problems with mine if I'm not careful.

But no, she'll take it on the gut, like an honest lady

Invariably I'm not and yogurt is called into help

But that's old and now there are new fish to fry

Our Lady of Grace, she is.

Colleen, Colleen

Our Lady of Grace, she is, she is.

But now my sweet Catholicism.

Mary, sweet Mary.

And yes, Mr. Coventry, such a gay man

Your contributions were taken to heart.

Heart, mind, body and spirit.

Are all homosexuals Protestant, then?

A little girl asks.

Oh, no, her instructor says, and looks nervously at her watch.

The only generalization safe to make

Is that there are no generalizations safe to make
