Dressed up as an heir to some Ketchup fortune
I sip my martini with my pinky to the sky.
I say very little in conversations, but when
I do? It really counts.
Things like:
"Beefcake"
"Ferrari"
"Cold Fish"
"Hush, speak only with your eyes"
"Time, is a scale for the poor"
And "Have you seen my Corgi, Mr. Frumples?"
Having found a perfect seat to greet, and meet,
I do. And though it's not mine for long, while
it is? I hold court wowing chipper young Betties
with my grasp of things like cooking, nursing,
and quantum physics. I detect a theme here
tonight and it's fishnet stockings, and Botox.
Hugh easily shuffles amongst his guests. Hands
smooth & floating inside his maroon smoker's jacket
pockets. If not searching for a pipe than a wrench.
Bill Moyer is dressed up like Sponge Bob. Though
he reassures me that he's not here to soak up a thing.
A Roman Soldier walks by, I say, "Jesus Killer" but
he doesn't laugh. Next, comes a priest, I beckon
him to me and ask him to forgive me for my sins.
But he just turns around to reveal his missing back
half of his gown. Clad in an edible g-string, he has
the word "Pope-a-licious" written in shoe polish upon
his ass. With a campy lisp he says, "I'll forgive
you if you'll forgive me?" I decline, and make the
sign of the cross. And right when I think that it
can't get any better? Corey Feldman walks past dressed
up as Superman. Not knowing quite what to say
I blurt out, "Anything's possible with a cape"
He laughs and says, "Have you seen Wonder woman?"
I shake my head no, though it's obvious I have a
Deep-seated desire to meet Mr. Robert Downey Jr.

I especially liked the nod to Bettie Page as well as the Cory line. though depending on his mood I can see him just as easily taking offense as being funny about it! This is a very entertaining entry. Thanks.

It just gets deeper and deeper. LOL.
Who else? David Navarro with a needle and blood
squirting out. Heard about that one. Hob nobbing with
the silicone infected brain dead. Oh, glory, but you made
the imagery perfectly amusing. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Terrific write.

Yes, that's what I kept repeating for weeks too.
I would be ion a check out line, or at In and out
and daydreaming, and then I would blurt out" HA HA corey feldman dressed up as superman, hahhahah that's too much" and people would be like what? And I would just giggle and say never mind. lol -

How fun... I definitely detect a flavor of Playboy in it... (oh yeah, I forgot, I don't read Playboy, 'cause I'm a good girl) anyway, great poem, and the title works really well.
