Polari Catullus 78B

Infamy, infamy: a fragment

 …………………………………...

But see now, what pisses me off is
you’ve soiled with yer filthy kisses
the purest of the pure, my treash, my ducky.
But don’t think you’re in the clear.
I’ll make sure all the world will hear,
make you a byword for all that’s mucky.

 

Polari glossary:

treash– treasure [a frequent term of endearment]; ducky [a term of endearment]
