Gender Bender
Is it really anyone’s business
What about this gender thing
Does it pertain to likeness
Does it even mean a thing
If you’re intimate it matters
But that’s your business too
Everybody wants to know
Are they intimate with you
Your boss, your government
Why do they even care
They always want to know
What you’re packing under there
On a job application …
Isn’t that discrimination?
Why do they want that information?
Is the job fornication?
A little box is labeled gender
No, I usually just say
And when it’s labeled sex
I answer anyway
Sometimes I say seldom
Or … refer to marital status
Twice on Sundays
Or … never just for gratis
Well, come on now, really
What do they expect?
Will they take my word for it?
Are they going to check?
