TEACHER’S PET PEEVE
“I will try to remember your names,
But reject any petulant claims:
What ‘your pronouns’ are
Is a bridge too far
And I won’t play ridiculous games.”
PRONOUNCEMENT
Okay, now you are going too far,
Saying what your preferred pronouns are:
We don’t care if this vexes,
There are only two sexes,
And what you really are is bizarre.

BRUISED GENDER
“I’m a man. No, a woman. No, man.
I change gender as fast as I can.
Call me ‘him,’ call me ‘her,’
But you’d better concur
With the gender I currently am.”
(2019)
IN TOLERANCE
Left-wing radicals running our schools
Do great harm with their inverted rules:
They oppose every norm,
Reject custom and form,
And show deference to freaks and to fools.

Last week’s limerick
LITES OUT
“We were so far ahead! How’d we choke?
We were basking in bucks! Now we’re broke?
There is no more demand
For our popular brand.
We were sleeping, but thought we were woke.”
