I thought you were extinct Homo Erectus, <br />But I did not find you among the Gay Pride Week, <br />Not Jerry Springer or Maury, <br />But among the Washington D. C. and Vatican, <br />-higher end crust. <br />The Senator did tap dance in the stall, <br />He was showing off his skills that he learned from Fred Astaire’s Dance Studio, <br />Or he was about to audition for Riverdance? <br />He’d even wear a leprechaun suit if he’d had the chance, <br />To the undercover vice, he didn’t bare all, <br />The monsignor did his interview on Italian TV, <br />For the latter claimed it wasn’t a sin to have man on man sex, <br />For it was a secret videocam on him that the producers did seek, <br />Both were busted, a plausible denial would ensue, <br />Both were about to get the boot, their ideals of life through, <br />Monsignor Tommaso Stenico and U. S. Senator Larry Craig, <br />Craig vowed to fight homosexuality <br />Stenico’s Church disallows gays from participation, <br />According to the Holy See, <br />Monsignor Stenico is in limbo, <br />Larry Craig is in Hot Water(gate) , <br />But yet the spin doctors will come out and explain it all, <br />Why a straight married man and person of the cloth could say, <br />“I’m not gay.” <br /> In front of a videocam or in a bathroom stall. <br /> <br />(10-14-07)<br /><br />Joe Rosochacki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/homo-erectus/
