So, um, I may have been reading about manticores and listening to a podcast about RuPaul’s Drag Race at the same time. And this happened. So in the style of those raps the finalists always have to insert into a RuPaul music video, I give you this sickening bitch from ancient Persia.
Persian phenomenon: gaze on my glory!
The face of a queen, but the rest of me’s gory:
A leonine body, a sting in my tail:
Don’t come for me bitches, cause you’re gonna fail!
And yes I love men, but is that such a crime?
I like to eat two, even three at a time!
Yes I am the monster that you all adore
The queen of the jungle: the great manticore!
