\nhe judged when my hair was short enough<\/span>
\nthis man was old but he made me tingle<\/span>
\nperhaps I am gay because of this and<\/span>
\nI like to fence olives in dirty martini\u2019s.<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
\nand I forgot to ask if he was gay in Daily Mail<\/i> kind of way.
\nI had my hair cut and the scissors were gay scissors and blue.
\nIt doesn\u2019t matter that the blades were blue but fuck it they were gay.
\nPerhaps we should have shared a Martini and made it dirty,
\nate brexit fish and chips from the mail and fenced with tongues.<\/p>\n
