SALOME (1953)

Nothing like a campy—

Hollywood Sword & Sandal

Biblical Epic to Butch me

Up for Sunday School!!!

To face the Christians—

Slithering every Sunday

Guilting me severely with

Damning demeaning Hell!!!

And to think, my dears—

Christians once back then

Such Fearful Closet Cases

Under the Roman sword!!!

Both Charles Laughton—

And Miss Stewart Granger

Such flaming LA Queens

What Faggy Filmographies!!!

“Salome” tells the story—

About Christian persecution

John the Baptist’s holy head

Plopped on a Silver Platter!!!

How things have changed—

Rome the New Religious Right

Jerry Fartwell & Jimmy Swaggart

Preaching hatred for all Queers!!!

Backed by rabid Mormonism—

And Revered Edie Long Dong

Christians the New Persecutors

Let Salome begin her Dance!!!
