TITLE NEIN
\n\u201cThe gold medal I won in a whirl
\nAt the annual state intermural:
\nYou may think I\u2019m a scamp,
\nBut I\u2019m still the new champ \u2013
\nAnd the boy who just beat the best girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

From the archive<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

BACK IN THE CLOSET!
\nWe relented and let you come out,
\nBut we never expected you\u2019d flout
\nAll the rules of decorum
\nIn whatever forum \u2013
\nAnd adopt worse perversions to tout.
\n(2017)<\/p>\n

DESENSITIZATION<\/span>
\nWe\u2019re mainstreaming perverted carnality
\n(Homophilia to bestiality),
\nBut remove the taboo
\nAnd they\u2019re less \u201cfun\u201d to do:
\nThat\u2019s the fitting, ironic reality.<\/span>
\n(2017)<\/p>\n

SPOTTED
\nA ladybug, asked why
\nShe seemed to be so shy
\nAbout sharing a shower
\nOn a marigold flower,
\nSaid, \u201cThat<\/em> ladybug\u2019s a guy!\u201d
\n(2016)<\/p>\n

YIKES!
\n\u201cYou may claim that you\u2019re not anti-gay,
\nBut to prove that you mean what you say
\nYou must now demonstrate
\nThat you really don\u2019t hate \u2013
\nAnd to do that, there\u2019s only one way.\u201d
\n(2016)<\/p>\n

DEAD END
\nThough the mob is completely insane, though
\nThey cause everyone so much pain, though
\nThey shout and shove
\nAnd call it \u201clove,\u201d
\nThere is death at the end of the rainbow.
\n(2015)<\/p>\n

YOU\u2019RE IN DOUBT?
\n\u201cIf you\u2019re not really sure of your stance
\nAs to bathrooms, then why take a chance?
\nConfused about gender?
\nDo what I do: Surrender \u2014
\nAnd just stand there and pee in your pants.\u201d
\n(2015)<\/p>\n

UNLOCKER ROOM
\nIn the past when a pervert would peek,
\nHe\u2019d be met with a slap or a shriek:
\nNow he says he\u2019s a woman,
\nIs entitled to come in,
\nNot be treated like some kind of freak.
\n(2015)<\/p>\n

THE ADVOCATE
\nNo man\u2019s perfect, nor ever has been:
\nWe fall over and over again,
\nAnd, while some turn to prayer,
\nMany others despair
\nOr crusade on behalf of their sin.
\n(2015)<\/p>\n

PAN
\nS\/he was straight, s\/he was bi, s\/he was gay:
\nOpenminded, s\/he went any way,
\nEven trying out trans<\/span>,
\nAt last settling on sans<\/span><\/em>,
\nToo exhausted for any more play.
\n(2014)<\/p>\n

AGITPROP
\nMaybe three in a hundred are bent,
\nAnd one tenth of that number intent
\nOn pretending to wed
\nSame-sex partners instead:
\nAll this turmoil for three-tenths percent?
\n(2012)<\/p>\n

BULLIES
\nIn the 50s our fathers knew best,
\nBut back then they could scarcely have guessed
\nThat a mere three percent
\nWho are sexually bent
\nWould intimidate all of the rest.
\n(2012)<\/p>\n

CZARDOM & GOMORRAH
\n\u201cWe are in your schools now and polluting
\nAll the innocent minds we\u2019re rebooting:
\nThere\u2019ll be total immersion
\nIn every perversion
\nAnd the schools will be safe for recruiting.\u201d
\n(2011)<\/p>\n

BAD SAMARITANS
\nWhen a brother has wandered astray,
\nThose who love him will show him the way;
\nThose who follow the fashion
\nOf corrupted compassion
\nWill assure him his sin is okay.
\n(2010)<\/p>\n

SAFE AND UNSOUND
\nThere\u2019s \u201csafe sex\u201d and \u201csafe schools\u201d and \u201csafe touch,\u201d
\n\u201cSafe this\u201d and \u201csafe that\u201d and \u201csafe such,\u201d
\nBut, if \u201csafe\u201d now means \u201cqueer\u201d
\nAnd is said with a leer,
\nThe word \u201csafe\u201d doesn\u2019t comfort me much.
\n(2009)<\/p>\n

IN TOLERANCE
\nLeft-wing radicals running our schools
\nDo great harm with their inverted rules:
\nThey oppose every norm,
\nReject custom and form,
\nAnd show deference to freaks and to fools.
\n(2007)<\/p>\n

LAWRENCE V. TEXAS
\nThe evil with which men are ridden
\nIn normal times hardly is hidden,
\nBut no era\u2019s more awful
\nThan when vice is made lawful
\nAnd propriety, then, is forbidden.
\n(2003)<\/p>\n

NOVEL IDEA
\nIn The Wanting Seed<\/em>, Anthony Burgess
\nProphesied the preposterous purges
\nHe knew surely would come
\nWhen the righteous play dumb
\nAnd the vicious give vent to their urges.
\n(2003)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Last week\u2019s limerick<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

BASKET OF DEPORTABLES
\n\u201cIf you come to our home the right way,
\nFriendly strangers, you\u2019re welcome to stay;
\nIf you try to sneak in,
\nYou\u2019ll be sent back again:
\n\u2018Bon voyage!\u2019 and \u2018Have an ICE day!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
