The fabulous LGBT Poet Laureate shares a flirty, festive poem
Queer kissmas
It’s the festive season, Hip hip hooray!
Now’s a good time to be happy and Gay
This time of year can be lonely and cold
So get out those glad-rags, be daring. Be bold
Try a new lipstick, buy a sprig of mistletoe
Tune into the season, its ringing Go Gay Go!
Dry clean that jacket. Put on that bow tie
If you feel like snogging, don’t think why?
Christmas time can be stressful and fraught
Overspending, overeating, doing what you ought
So relax and smile a little, look around you, it’s free.
Enjoy the many pleasures of our Community
Be kind, be nice, it is the seasonal mission
Spread love and goodwill, I give you my permission
Just one more thing to say before I go
I wish you a Merry Xmas, with lots of Yo, Ho, Ho!
