Me,
My sisters Ruth and Bethany
Are the Dallas Youth Auxiliary
Quote: âFounded when Catholics wouldnât dream of your jobâ¦â
Thatâs the slogan our Daddy
Suggested for the welcome poster
He tore in two
Then he locked us in the garden shed
Said, âCome out when youâre not communists!â
Quote: âAt least youâre not all lesbians like that Quaker next door.â
Ruth said: âHow could we be?
When Nixon is the Dick for us threeâ¦â
He let us out!
We stole his keys
After Bethany
Took a shovel to his knees
Quote: âTake the wheel, Iâll hit the gas â off to the New Frontierâ¦â
We left Daddy crawling
Across the front lawn - in our side-view mirror
Was the paperboy running mad, calling out, screaming out for a ride
And weâre taking off
While youâre touching down, down, down
Hearts and flags a flutter
Thighs âll turn to butter
at Love Field
We jumped the curb of the parking lot
Ran to the tarmac, cut through the mob
Quote: âPeel that old bag from the fence, sheâs not long for this world!â
And there was your smile,
like a gift behind the birthday wrapping
You took our hands
And our saddle shoes left the ground
Young debutantes over the crowd
Horn-rimmed glasses turned reflecting
On a thousand days of waiting
Teenage hearts in palpitation
Coming down from expectation
Cigarettes all âround
Then the blue rinse in the floral dress
Tore us off the chain link fence
Shook hands with the President, her fist full of our hair
On tip-toes and waving
Quote: âWe hope your stay is breath-taking!â
It sure was for
My sisters Ruth and Bethany
Of the Dallas Youth Auxiliary
Quote: âFounded when misery couldnât hold down a job.â
Returned to the car to find
Behind a crutch pointed like a rifle,
Our daddy saying,
âGotcha, girlsâ¦
I gotcha girlsâ¦
I gotcha girlsâ¦
I gotcha girlsâ¦
â¦Powâ¦
â¦Powâ¦
â¦Powâ¦
