Fairy’s Lament
(named after a Scottish jig)

Dad, I’m sorry
I know that you are disappointed.
Dad, I love you
And not in that way, you know what I meant.

You asked me if it was something you did,
Oh no,
I knew way back when I was still a kid.
When I was six,
You gave me GI Joe to play with
And I really dug
All those really tight-ass outfits!

Dad, I’m sorry
I know that you are disappointed.
Dad, I love you
And not in that way, you know what I meant.

In junior high,
I went out for football to make you proud,
And in the shower room my ass
Was first to get slapped with wet towels.

Oh my God, son, what did I do to make you this way?

Shit, dad, it’s not your fault I turned out to be gay.
I have to be what I feel inside
It just turns out
What I feel is gay pride!
Dad, I’m sorry, I know that you are disappointed
Dad, I love you, and not in that way, you know what I meant.
I wish that I could be
The son you always wanted near
A man who hunts and bowls and drinks domestic beer.

Well I’m not
I love you dad, but it’s just too bad
If you can’t deal, with who I am!
God made me who I am!

The world’s biggest fucking flaming limp wrist rainbow wearing butt bucaneer San Francisco slut!

Dad, I’m sorry,
I know that you are disappointed,
Dad, I love you,
And not in that way, you know what I meant.
