TAKE ME OUT
TAKE ME OUT TO THE GRIFFINS
Egoistic bombast says a woman on the stair
Best dressed Best hair No starving artists
in this lair Governor General wears the same
spangly shoes as last year No Transit of Venus
this year Lots of oh so beautiful men who spout
beautiful words for a living & masses of imperious
women One wears a cameo ring but won’t make
eye contact I want a list of hairdressers
