Twas the Night Before Conference
Twas the night before conference,
And all through the hotel,
Giddy laughter was heard,
It was impossible to quell.
Silent Auction was ready,
The swag it was stuffed,
Jessie brought T-shirts
But prob’ly not enough.
General Judy had checked
Every last little detail,
And Liz had checked too,
There was no way it would fail.
Beth, Taylor and Alison,
The Con Virgins they’d lead
They had gifts and advice
And a song up their sleeves.
Ms. Mercedes’ ducks
Were lined up in a row,
Presidents they resembled
But not Taft or Woodrow (There’s no “o” ending president, people.)
The moderators were prepared
Panel questions were written
Sacred Sex, Murder and Gore,
Let’s hope no one gets bitten!
Classes were many
Dialogue, social media and tech to name a few,
How could we see them all?
I have no clue!
It all would lead
to that Saturday night,
When lesbians dressed up,
And their het sisters were contrite.
So this week we’ll converge,
On unsuspecting D.C.
Get your hugs ready,
It’s time for GCLS 2016!
I hope you enjoyed my attempt at poetry, and I hope you’ll surf around my new website. I’m so excited about seeing everyone this coming week. I’m bringin’ the wife to meet y’all. She’ll be the woman in the dog T-shirt. If you’re new to GCLS, please feel free to come up and say hi. We’re a friendly bunch!
