I Just Simply Want to be A Good Hu-Person Being
Copyright © 2021 William Kevin Stoos I remember law school lecturers With choice of words meticulous Who strained to speak so gender-free They sounded quite ridiculous. They never said just “him” or “her,” “Him/her” was always used; Nor said they “he,” they used “he/she,” Lest they became abused By a group of vocal students (Of the feminist persuasion) Who hung upon their ev’ry word And hissed on each occasion When that poor ‘ole harried law School prof dared to slip and render Any noun or pronoun of the solely male gender.- Saturday, January 16, 2021
