One Year of “Is Missy Higgins A Lesbian?”

The Call of Stoush, which brings us all to blog
is amplified whenever the topic’s sex.
Pop music banter steps it up a cog,
and what inevitably happens next?
All our kitschy smutty thoughts in the end go
Onto the keyboard and in-nuendo.

Now we celebrate a year of Higgins,
the thread that all commenters understand
To be one which very much embiggens
all contributions. I hereby demand
Acknowledgement of this date with some terse
(or lengthy) doggerel, rhyme or verse.

If, reader, you think you can do better—and you should—the comments field is yours. All entries must either rhyme or conform to some other poetical form.

    Missy Higgins’ sexuality was a classic topic,
    As was TEH HIVE MIND biopic.
    Liam’s bet
    Now a debt
    All with many a fantastic pic!

    I laboured on a poem
    but the spaminator ate my tome.

    The question is Missy a lesbian
    Is that worse than being a thespian?
    After all Kylie came from Neighbours
    So is Missy still an underarm shaver

    Missy Higgins, who is she?
    I only know her from LP
    I understand she’s rumoured Sapphic
    Please favour me with proof that’s graphic.

    She’s not so prissy
    she’s our Missy

    She’s not a bogan
    like haiku hogan

    She’s not so preachy
    Like Alberichi

    She’s not Danish
    Like Mark Bahnisch

    She’s not a nerd
    Like Graham Bird

    She don’t like fellas
    Like Kimberellas

    She’s not a hoon
    like Jason Soon

    She ain’t so showy
    As is our Zoe

    There ain’t no throb
    Like gorgeous Rob

    She don’t get stroppy
    As does Jack Strocchi

    She won’t give what-for
    to Mr Fyodor

    She won’t embiggen
    Professor Quiggin

    She’ll do a precis
    Eluding JC

    She went and stunned it
    For Evil Pundit

    She said, “just blow me”
    to Miss Naomi

    She built a shed
    for j_p_z

    She was the fleetest
    Lefty Elitist

    She went to flog
    Good ol’ tigtog

    She set the feeler
    For Christine Keeler

    She tamed a panda
    For Miss Amanda

    She shaved her hair
    for timmy blair

    She cut down redwoods
    For Steve Edwards

    She tried to dub
    Steve at the pub

    She went and turfed ‘em
    For Tim at Surfdom

    She jacked off
    For Nabokov

    She’s just our Missy
    Our kissy-kissy

    No fits of Hissy
    She’s just our Missy …

    Oft wondered by LP’s plebians,
    Is if Ms Missy Higgins is a lesbian,
    The question of course
    has become a comments tour de force
    But computationally we really want know if she is big-endian.

    To a slightly modified arrangement of “We Sail the Ocean Blue” from Gilbert and Sullivan’s HMS Pinafore:

    Missy sails the aural white,
    and she looks, I’ll say it, dorky,
    so rather than enlight,
    LP’s crew told the odd porky

    When the searchers come by, and they wondered loud why,
    we stood to our guns all day,
    Is she gay, we don’t know, but some teens wished us woe,
    “Stop pickin! She roolz! You’ll all pay!”

    Tenors (and sopranos, seeing we’re a mixed crew): Ahoy ahoy!
    Basses (and altos): Is she really gay?
    Tenors: Ahoy ahoy!
    Basses: Frankly who’s to say!
    All: And who gives a toss, it’s the modern day….

    On her love life we’re not sure, but her music we’re more certain,
    She’s our favourite lipsniger, but we’d happ’ly drop the curtain,
    Give us Blasko, or Bowditch, or even Beth O,
    whose stylings our ears agree,
    But then we’d take nothing but Higgins non-step,
    if that’d force Delta to flee.

    Missy Higgins sniggers her lips,
    So we respond with our quips,
    we don’t know if she’s gay
    and frankly whooooooo’s to say?

    I think that I shall never see
    A poem as lovely as Missy

    I wish Missy came from Nantucket . . .

    We’ve debated some big ‘uns,
    But none like Ms Higgins,
    She holds our attention,
    and demands the prevention
    of discourse academic,
    We prefer some polemic:
    She’s of same-same notion?
    Is Lesbos in the ocean?

    Missy’s PA went spac
    And went on the attack
    Which caused no one to change tack
    But there was lipsnigerin behind her back

    I fear I cannot get in line
    To gossip ’bout this famous Strine.
    I guess I cannot flip my wig-gins
    To gossip ’bout Miss Missy Higgins.
    For Missy H., I cannot root;
    I cannot root a single toot.
    (Were I to toot, it would be moot.
    My tootings, thus, are set to ‘Mute’.)
    I will not speak about her business.
    I have no idea who she is-ness.

    ‘root’ above, understood of course in the yank usage, not the Strayan.

  14. 14 KimNo Gravatar

    Oh dear, j_p_z, we may be writing prose. We will get a flayin’ !

    I thnik I’ll let the question pass
    Who on earth gives a rat’s a**se?

    I’ve hardly been outside my closet in days,
    ’cause I don’t feel that I deserve the rainbow’s shine.
    The darkness helped until the i was drunk to the top with whiskey,
    And it was then I realize the conscience always fades.
    When you’re young you need to face show out this look of your life:
    That you’ll be scrupulous and one day even get a wife.
    And you make boundaries you’d never dream to cross,
    And if you happen to you that i’m completely lost i dont give a f$%&&.
    But I will kick your asses, be sure that
    I will kick until you’ll shut the f$ยท% up of this rumour

    But will rave on hours yackety-yack Big Brother

    And, speculative, post: who’s porking Paris?

    The Sexual Epitaph of Missy Higgins

    by Ezra “Beaver” Pound

    Lies here the libido of Missy Higgins
    Christ only knows who she was friggin’

    Un-earthed, as they say, by Triple J
    To be buried in blogs by cruel hearsay.

    The point of this interest
    to put at its simplest
    that herness or hisness
    is quite her own business
