Miss Thesiger

MISS THESIGER

BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935)

I wasn’t picky like she was—

Miss Elsa Lanchester the so-so

BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN

I was more the rather—

Tres fickle faggy kind of

Happy Honeymoon Homo

Who needed Colin Clive?—

And Ernest Thesiger doing

Their evil Transplant Surgery?

Cabaret drag was simply—

Fabulous, my dears, for a

Needy Sissy just like me

THE OLD DARK HOUSE (1933)

Boris was such a bore—

Why did I have to get stuck

With Miss Boris Karloff?

BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN—

Was simply bad enough

His laments so tres tiring

Ugly rough-trade types—

Just simply weren’t my 

Cup of tea, my dears

Neither was nelly—

Miss Charles Laughton 

Either with his pawing

Hands & big fat paunch

THE GHOUL (1933)

THE GHOUL was even—

Worse, my dears, with

Boris back from the Dead

Such a living bore—

But thanks to Anubis 

A boring dead man too

All it took, my dears—

The Jewel of Immortality

Clenched in his cold fist

The dreary-deary plot—

Conceals simply oodles

Of gay gallows humor

MISS THESIGER

Miss Thesiger and I—

Have something in

Common, my dears

We’re both into—

Embroidery when it

Comes to Theater

Queen Mother Mary—

Sensed the value of

Ernest's postwar rehab

Theater and poetry—

Embroidering the

Tawdry reality of man
