Gender Bender

And now let’s speak of Paparazzi
Who show us things that we should not see
They think they are so hotsy-totsy
                              Let Mama have the job

Yes, I’d prefer the Mamarazzi
        I’m sure they’d show us how to not be
They’d surely take a better shot, see
                                 As Papa’s such a slob

But now let’s move to Billygoats
             Why can’t they be called Millygoats
They then would not be silly goats
                        Let’s give the girls a chance

And what of Lazysusan’s fate
          Not fair, though now it’s much to late
I think that Lazypeter’s great 
                        They’d have a fine romance

Unless he is all Petered out
                       As I am with this goofy bout
More gender benders left to scout
                     But now I’m tired, so Sue me
