misread the crowd

I was preaching to the choir -
as I do, with distracted zeal
when suddenly I realized
my act had lost appeal. Perhaps
I was too old-school, too
vaingloriously innocent?
I cued up brassy boomba-tsh
and shucked my long white robe
- to begin with - with a flourish!
With a shimmy-shake and raunchy
hip-thrust bump and bop.
I'm stripping to the choir,
now. We'll see how far this goes,
how long it takes - perhaps
it would be more appropriate
if I'd dressed like a cop?
