Feminist: A Found Poem

I voted for Chaz I’m such a geek I bet I’ll vote every week.
I was disappointed by the Flair guy.
Isn’t the whole point of his act
that you get a drink at the end of it?
How can that happen when you set everything on fire?
That weird guy with the red flag sucked. Fiddles are boring.
I missed the Opera singer because I was distracted
by the Tourette’s kid but I hope
an Opera singer doesn’t win.
I was totally going to vote for the carnie kid
with the hula hoops – what are you gonna buy
with the hundred grand a purple house – so cute
but in the end she lost my vote to Chaz mainly
because her name is Americus and I think that’s the worst name
you could give a child after Shitface.
