Homo Erectus Poem by Joe Rosochacki

I thought you were extinct Homo Erectus,
But I did not find you among the Gay Pride Week,
Not Jerry Springer or Maury,
But among the Washington D. C. and Vatican,
-higher end crust.
The Senator did tap dance in the stall,
He was showing off his skills that he learned from Fred Astaire’s Dance Studio,
Or he was about to audition for Riverdance?
He’d even wear a leprechaun suit if he’d had the chance,
To the undercover vice, he didn’t bare all,
The monsignor did his interview on Italian TV,
For the latter claimed it wasn’t a sin to have man on man sex,
For it was a secret videocam on him that the producers did seek,
Both were busted, a plausible denial would ensue,
Both were about to get the boot, their ideals of life through,
Monsignor Tommaso Stenico and U. S. Senator Larry Craig,
Craig vowed to fight homosexuality
Stenico’s Church disallows gays from participation,
According to the Holy See,
Monsignor Stenico is in limbo,
Larry Craig is in Hot Water(gate) ,
But yet the spin doctors will come out and explain it all,
Why a straight married man and person of the cloth could say,
“I’m not gay.”
In front of a videocam or in a bathroom stall.
