Dolores the Drag Queen

by katemcclelland7

Dolores the Drag Queen
On stage until two
She deals cleverly with hecklers
And the unruly few

With a few gags or a put-down
Or a withering look
She hands over aggressive ones
To bouncers Paddy & Chuck

Next day it’s the club office til four
Then stops for a break
And what Dolores adores
Is a brew and a cream cake

‘Earl Grey’ she says grandly
As she pulls up a chair
In the local patisserie
In which she has a half share

Off come the sling-backs
And she wriggles her toes
‘Ooh that feels so good’
‘It’s great to be home’

Eating her cake daintily
With a knife and a fork
She sips on her Earl Grey
And watches it all

Pass by the window
Of the little quaint café
Where she can wear what she likes
And have a good laugh

With the café regulars
Sharing makeover tips
And talk about life
In between sips

At the end of the day
Dolores transforms
She’s back out on the stage
As it’s here she performs

Dolores the Drag Queen
Her audience she rules
A star among mortals
In high heels and false boobs
