Saturn’s rings rotating;
a record begins to play;
then pulsars start pulsating
with a beat that’s bright and gay.

Then Angel’s straight and queer
dressed in golden, glittering wings
dance to the music of the spheres;
among the stars, they shake their thing.

Thanks, Walrus. My big sister was really into ABBA and disco music when I was a child but I was born a bit too late to really appreciate it. One of my favourite bad movies of all time is the Village People vehicle 'You can't stop the music'. I remember dancing to its songs as a toddler. "You Can't Stop The Music" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZB8UXJE7zps

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

Thanks, alvin. It's inspired by all the religious homophobia I hear about on TV all the time. I wondered what Heaven would be like if it were a little more camp and then disco lights/ discoballs and stars and planets sort of popped into my head. Glad you liked it.

Dear well-wisher, found this poem hilarious; amazing idea indeed. Can just imagine the saints dancing disco-style. Cheers
