Makes Me Wonder

HMMM

By Earl W. PearlPublished 4 months ago • Updated 4 months ago • 1 min read

Two lesbians marry, one’s dressed as a man

What sense does it make to pretend

Was this “Hetero” image a part of the plan

What’s the message they’re hoping to send

So in this here wedding, who’s wearing a suit

Makes more sense if two dresses were bought

It’s a little confusing, it doesn’t compute

With this image you’re claiming they’re not

It’s kind of how Vegans create with tofu

These meals that remind them of meat

A flavor and texture they never outgrew

If meat’s so disgusting, why cheat

It’s claimed they’re repulsed if it once had a face

(Just repeating the words that they say)

If eating what’s butchered is such a disgrace

Is recalling the taste still okay
