Sad Old Drag Queen

He looked in the mirror
How gorgeous he was
With his sequined spangly skirt
Covering his hairy legs
And his suspenders
Only slightly soiled.

I'm not sure...

it is a picture I want in my head, but he certainly has the right to dress any way he likes.~ Geezer.

Hi Edna, I think your poem is too short to get the gist of what is in the writer's mind. Or the reader's, for that matter. As it is, it doesn't cast a good impression, although I think you're just showing how that man must see or think of himself.
"Sad Old Drag Queen" does not attract me as a title. Old fashioned expression. With all due respect, Edna, I always read you and comment. Gracy
