THE GRAYS

by Andrew Frisardi



In Greek mythology the Gray Sisters shared one eye and one tooth. Graphic via Pinterest.


The sisters had one tooth, one eye,
for all three: each had a day or week
to bite to eat, to see to seek.
But they got by fine, none said “mine.”

The Grays were weird, and no one’s seen them,
yet Congressmen have learned their trick.
You might say men are politic,
sharing a single testicle between them.
