Appearances

I go to choral evensong and sit

In regal beauty in the queen’s own free

Saint George’s Chapel.  I have used my spit

To cut the pain a corn has caused to me

When I put on my snakeskin shoes, the blue

……….

Ones, Hugo Boss.  I’m wearing my fur coat

Of striking pony skin in stylish tans

And creams.  (Forget the mink in brown; I gloat

Despite that colored collar.)  No one in

The high arched choir has knowledge of the corn

Or slick saliva.  They might think it sin

To wear the equine garment, bad as porn.

..I don’t belong in such a sacred sphere.

….Saints George and mildest Francis don’t appear.
