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
