Peter Pan Park

Peter Pan Park

A nice little Necropolis—

Peter Pan Park down there

South of the tracks

Never Neverland—

Devoted to the death

Of young Mary White

William Allen White’s—

Tomb to her Tragedy

Emporia’s kitschy park

Built in the memory—

Of his dearly departed

Daughter his Peter Pan

In love with Tinkerbell—

James Barrie’s fantastic

Victorian Fairy Tale

Miss Walt Disney’s—

Technicolor money-maker

With campy Captain Hook

Monkey Island

Famous cruising spot—

Next to Peter Pan Lake

Weekends were busy

Surrounded by a—

Shallow tacky moat

A rather sullen spot

But lots of bushes—

A pretty little Arbor

A nice place for picnics

I tricked quite a bit—

Growing up there in

That little Cowtown

What else to do—

Other than getting

Drunk at the VFW?

My cute stepfather—

Part-time bartender

I’d bribe for booze

The City Pool

Another Hot Spot—

Worthy of my gay

Queenly Attentions

The cute Lifeguards—

Lounging lazily up

There in their Towers

Usually butchy—

Football team hunks

Showing off muscles

Usually smirking—

At me swishing around

Cruising their speedos

Especially there in—

The showers by the

Locker-room naked

Me giving them—

Artificial respiration

With desperate Lips!!!

Wrestling Team

Later on though—

There was the workout

After-School Specials

The Wrestling Team—

With all the local dumb

Muscle-bound Apes

Butchy Rough Trade—

Turned me on sending

Shivers up my Nelly Spine!

Simply infuriating them—

The more they hurt me

The bigger my Grin!!!

The more they pinned—

Me and roughed me up

The more I loved it

Especially those hot—

Young Mexicans who

Were simply Arriba!!!
