Sad Old Drag Queen
He looked in the mirror
How gorgeous he was
With his sequined spangly skirt
Covering his hairy legs
And his suspenders
Only slightly soiled.

Hi Edna, I think your poem is
Hi Edna, I think your poem is too short to get the gist of what is in the writer's mind. Or the reader's, for that matter. As it is, it doesn't cast a good impression, although I think you're just showing how that man must see or think of himself.
"Sad Old Drag Queen" does not attract me as a title. Old fashioned expression. With all due respect, Edna, I always read you and comment. Gracy
