The Real World

If Doris Day could have gotten her head out of the clouds, her damn song would have been more like this.

When I was just a little brat,
I asked my mom, What will I be?
Will I be pretty? Married and rich?
Here's what she said to me:

Que Sera Sera,
Forever in debt you'll be;
Your man on a cheating spree
Que Sera Sera,
Life can just suck, you will see.

When I grew up and came out to the world,
I asked my friends, what lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows day after day?
Here's what those bitter jaded queens said:

Que Sera Sera,
In Boston we'll get married;
The far right will fight, you'll see
Que Sera Sera,
Bitter you will be

Now I have issues of my own
As I soon approach my middle age.
Should I have had kids? Who will change my Depends?
Are we just screwed in the end (don't knock it until you try it).

Que Sera Sera,
In one state we can get married;
To the courts we will challenge you'll see
Que Sera Sera,
Will we stay married?

May 17th is going to go down in history as the anniversaries of both the legalization of gay marriage and the Brown vs. Board of Education case. Both involve civil rights...so we'll see where this goes next.
