You liked when I licked you from head to toe
but were totally freaked out by ass play.
In your mind, a gay guy could safely blow
a straight dude without turning that bro gay.
I realize these details tend to the crude
while set gender roles are become a joke
but years ago this was your attitude.
God how you laughed whenever I would choke.
But now the gag’s on you: You’re middle-aged,
your balls have dropped, your main gig’s as a clown.
You do balloon tricks for the underaged.
Your heart’s cold as brass. You pretend you’ve found
how to cope via corrosive humor.
Johnny are you queer? I heard a rumor.
