Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for March 07, 2025

Perhaps it’s time for Harry to come out of the closet.

Harry’s just a closet party-er.

Good morning, Ballard Dears!

Trust me, us neighbors do NOT want to observe one of Harry’s “parties”.

/// He’d invited his neighbors, but none

had agreed to join in on the fun.

After fourteen declined,

Harry thought, “I don’t mind.

I’ll just check the box ‘Party of One.’”

Harry’s playing ‘Sardine’.

Harry took a clue from C.S. Lewis, and entered Narnia from his wardrobe closet.

When’s Harry coming out of the closet? It’s a (mostly) new world, I hear.

In the closet, Harry makes dally

With his good old pally Sally

It was done before in the alley

(Three times by Harry’s tally)

But the neighbors held a rally

To force a firm finale

And no more does he dilly-dally

With Sally in the alley

And the neighbors are thankful.

Harry is a party all to himself.

Wonder when he finally decided to come out of that closet…hmmmm☺️

Harry and his “gender reveal” parties.

Harry’s party phobia began with the COVID-19 crisis when he was forced to shelter at home alone. He developed a fear of being infected by others but loathed masking up in social circumstances. Hence, his closet hang up.

Besides, he discovered he was the life of the party if he was alone!

Even so, Harry still has a problem with “hangars-on”…

(≖_ʖ ≖)

Come out of the closet, Harry.

Harry likes his champagne served in a lady’s slipper.

Good morning Balladeers!

Harry is a master of his own fete.

I’m throwing a party and no one is invited! :)

♫ I drink alone, yeah

With nobody else

I drink alone, yeah ♫

It’ll be a gay day when he comes out of the closet.

that’s a pretty tiny space. hope he doesn’t bump his shindig…

Harry must be pretty new to Ballard Street. Otherwise, he’d know that his partying is fairly normal compared to some of the things that go on there.
