Game players (Poetry)

Quite scary that,

to spot a man with one nose

nasal hair protruding.

Or a woman with one arm,

was she black?

Or a chap carrying a handbag

with a yellow carnation in his lapel,

all quite fascinating stuff really,

wouldn’t you say?

Look at that fellow with the turban.

Doesn’t that look strange?

Or the lady with Doctor Martin boots on

and tartan braces.

Look over there, a man dressed as a woman

Doesn’t he look good for his age?

`And look at me, normal old me.

White, male, heterosexual and a professional to boot.`

`Teaching isn’t it?`

`Teacher that’s right,`of morals and ethics.`

`Do you teach diversity?`

`I do indeed, to my Masonic group.`
