00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.690 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:00.690 --> 00:00:02.443 align:middle line:90%
And I got one last poem for you.

00:00:02.443 --> 00:00:04.860 align:middle line:84%
And thank you for your sustained
attention over the course

00:00:04.860 --> 00:00:06.152 align:middle line:90%
of me sweating in front of you.

00:00:06.152 --> 00:00:07.080 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:08.830 align:middle line:84%
So I've been writing
this book about pigs.

00:00:08.830 --> 00:00:12.060 align:middle line:84%
This is a book, this is a
poem dedicated to Miss Piggy.

00:00:12.060 --> 00:00:13.950 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:13.950 --> 00:00:15.330 align:middle line:90%
Any Miss Piggy fans?

00:00:15.330 --> 00:00:16.170 align:middle line:90%
OK, two.

00:00:16.170 --> 00:00:16.860 align:middle line:90%
OK, good.

00:00:16.860 --> 00:00:17.940 align:middle line:90%
All right.

00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:20.400 align:middle line:90%
Sorry.

00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:22.560 align:middle line:90%
"Miss Piggy."

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:27.780 align:middle line:84%
Oh great porcine drag
queen, you who grew erudite

00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:29.940 align:middle line:90%
in the slaughterhouse shadow.

00:00:29.940 --> 00:00:34.320 align:middle line:84%
Eyelashes like black swords
teased up to challenge heaven.

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:36.720 align:middle line:84%
Eternal in your
powdered foundation,

00:00:36.720 --> 00:00:41.310 align:middle line:84%
refusing every day the knife's
inevitable and unkosher ending,

00:00:41.310 --> 00:00:43.320 align:middle line:90%
besnouted fount of youth!

00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.720 align:middle line:90%
Seminal queer iconoclast!

00:00:45.720 --> 00:00:50.310 align:middle line:84%
Pearls to bed, pearls in the
junkyard, pearls on television.

00:00:50.310 --> 00:00:53.820 align:middle line:84%
Diva of late night, of
talk shows and prime time.

00:00:53.820 --> 00:00:56.940 align:middle line:84%
Door-kicker for the
non-conventional romance.

00:00:56.940 --> 00:01:01.290 align:middle line:84%
Shown us how to love across
identities arbitrary as phylum

00:01:01.290 --> 00:01:02.580 align:middle line:90%
and species.

00:01:02.580 --> 00:01:04.920 align:middle line:90%
Bless that impossible coupling!

00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.860 align:middle line:84%
How you took an
entire frog inside you

00:01:07.860 --> 00:01:11.040 align:middle line:90%
and remained the same bad pig.

00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.400 align:middle line:84%
Who'd karate chop anyone
dumb enough to disrespect.

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:16.170 align:middle line:90%
On three can we have a hi-ya?

00:01:16.170 --> 00:01:17.100 align:middle line:90%
One, two, three.

00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:17.940 align:middle line:90%
Hi-ya!

00:01:17.940 --> 00:01:18.750 align:middle line:90%
One, two, three.

00:01:18.750 --> 00:01:19.470 align:middle line:90%
Hi-ya!

00:01:19.470 --> 00:01:20.160 align:middle line:90%
One, two, three.

00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:21.150 align:middle line:90%
Hi-ya!

00:01:21.150 --> 00:01:23.370 align:middle line:84%
What little faggot
wouldn't look upon you

00:01:23.370 --> 00:01:25.560 align:middle line:90%
and be seen or saved or salved?

00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.650 align:middle line:84%
You who never questioned you
were destined for stardom.

00:01:28.650 --> 00:01:29.730 align:middle line:90%
O miss miss!

00:01:29.730 --> 00:01:31.770 align:middle line:90%
O great swine demimonde!

00:01:31.770 --> 00:01:33.120 align:middle line:90%
Oh dame pig!

00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:34.830 align:middle line:90%
I'm yours till I end.

00:01:34.830 --> 00:01:36.330 align:middle line:90%
You, my religion.

00:01:36.330 --> 00:01:38.610 align:middle line:90%
How I understand all us now.

00:01:38.610 --> 00:01:42.610 align:middle line:84%
We are ourselves and the
hand inside that guides us.

00:01:42.610 --> 00:01:46.350 align:middle line:84%
We who are given voice by the
same spirit that gives voice

00:01:46.350 --> 00:01:49.237 align:middle line:90%
to everyone we have ever loved.

00:01:49.237 --> 00:01:50.070 align:middle line:90%
Well, thanks, y'all.

00:01:50.070 --> 00:01:52.820 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:01:52.820 --> 00:01:54.280 align:middle line:90%
