The Lyrics

The best-received of my professional works. The producer said that his singer, who usually nails *everything* in one take, needed multiple takes, as he had difficulty getting all the way through it without cracking up. I can't imagine a higher compliment that a professional comedy singer and impressionist could give to a writer.
I'm not gay
Though in airport johns, I spend my day
It's jut how I while the hours away
You must believe
That I'm not gay

Suddenly
Accident'ly bump foot; brush his knee
Now he has the wrong idea of me
Sir, I'm not gay
Why can't you see?

Why... I... tapped your shoe:
'Cause this loo: clean paper, none
Could... you.. pass a roll
So this soul
Can wipe his bun?

I'm not gay
Judge not what I do, but what I say
Underneath, I slid my hand your way...
Few sheets, retrieve
That's all, OK?

He... thinks... touching feet:
Indiscreet; I want to play
No... you've... got it wrong
Loud and strong --
-- shout, "I'm NOT gay!"

Yesterday...
Was misunderstood, to my dismay
How more forcefully can I convey...
(And self-deceive)...
I AM NOT GAY!

Why do they think that I am fay?....

It's true that anyone who shouts to the world "I'M NOT GAY!" will immediately be assumed to be gay.

A timeless political fumble. What makes it funny (the story it's based on) is what the guy who did it stood for. . .I almost expected this to be one of those I say 'foul' on--but that's why you have to read before commenting on a title, very well written Tommy.

How do you determine the sex of a turtle anyway? :-)

TJC: Aww, shucks, it was just written by deceit of de pants.... thanks TJ!

Below Average Dave: Actually, I did consider titling it "I'm Not Gay (Larry Craig)", but sometimes it's more fun for readers to figure it out themselves. Thanks, Dave.

Meriadoc: It's difficult - they're so shy; first you have to get them to come out of their shell.
As Ogden Nash put it:

The turtle lives twixt plated decks
That totally conceal its sex
I think it clever of the turtle
In such a fix, to be so fertile

© Estate of Ogden Nash... oh, and thanks for v/c, Merry. Hope you're feeling better these days - I've misses you, as I'm sure many others have. Happy holidays!
