Who Cares? A Poem

-
Who cares what your sexuality is?
It's nobody's business but yours.
Yet in the shallow  world of show biz
Homophobia and ignorance soars.

I don't like to talk about stuff such as this.
But the world seems to be quite obsessed.
Folks need to stop wondering just who to kiss.
It's nobody's business, I will always attest.

Morality's really just one lonely word.
Those who extol its virtues are blind.
We all have our choices--haven't you heard?
Just reach out with love and remain warm and kind.

The Pet Shop Boys don't worry about all these things
At least that's the impression I get.
They live and love and enjoy what that brings.
They've obviously found love, I'm willing to bet.

So just worry about your own affairs, why don't you.
The world will keep turning and the sun will still shine
Do you know that expression; "To thine self be true?"
To choose is a right and self-love is all mine.

He Left Me For the Circus Strongman: A New Single From The East Enders

Have you ever heard of something so bizarre? He left me for bulging limbs and has dumped my arse Into piles of choking sawdust, bleeding greasepaint This has got to be some kind of terrible farce. He isn’t anything to write my family about. Short, wide as he’s tall---looks like a squishy brick Bulging, sweaty biceps come with a heavy price you know But if the truth be told, guys like that make me sick. One day those muscles will atrophy and I will laugh until I cry And just forget that bleary-eyed clown with the upturned member He’s not that hopelessly desperate to want shriveling gonads Argue until those bovines return next September. He isn’t anything to write home to my sister about.

Some Pet Shop Boys Levity To Show I Have A Healthy (Albeit Quirky) Sense Of Humour

Well, I've certainly seen weirder, more outlandish and ridiculous tour riders, but this one, for the boys' Nightlife tour is after my own heart: Lots of alcohol,chocolate, a bowl of fruit and and 1 litre of fruit juice. Now that's my kind of rider! There's Madonna---front and centre as always Neil, speaking quickly and urgently "You don't understand. We were supposed to meet up with you five hours ago. It's not as if we have a tight schedule, but this is ridiculous. I have no idea where we are, Chris is getting antsy and if you had any sense of decency then you wouldn't be pulling this crap.  Oh, isn't this Bill Howard? Sorry, I guess I have the wrong number." Neil quickly hung up the phone. Neil looking happy and contented. A nice change from the ultra-serious face he and Chris favour I've learned a lot of life's lessons from Bugs Bunny. Here's an example of the cartoon lapin separating Canada from America...

Sensation: A Novel----A Good Idea Or Not? You Decide

First off, I'd like to know what all you Pet Shop Boys think about me writing a novel based on their lives and careers. It is written in novel form, which means it's a work of fiction and not some ill-conceived attempt at exploitation. That means that it is the furthest thing from my mind to capitalize on two incredible musicians who've been dealt a raw deal with regard to being harshly judged for their sexuality, particularly in America and to a lesser degree, Australia. This has irked all of us for a very long time, because to shut out an extraordinarily talented duo of singer/songwriters is a damn shame. I live in Canada, where we are much more liberal in our thoughts and opinions of homosexuality, but unfortunately, because we live next door to the United States OF America, we get wrapped up in their odd dogma, what with worshiping the gun culture and allowing school shootings to become the norm rather than the exception, but then Janet Jackson accidentally flashes a br...
