Marriage-Go-Round: the New Family Dynamics
Round 1
An effeminate young husband named Ben Dawes
Sought a sex change in spite of his in-laws.
He made the decision,
And got the incision,
And he now has a yang where his yin was.
Somewhat "butch" Betty Lou is his spouse.
Unlike her folks, she thinks Ben is no louse.
They'll stay married with pride,
With him as the bride,
And she'll be the man of the house.
Their life should be smooth now and supple,
But new wrinkles crop up midst the shuffle.
Their friends find it bemusing,
The switched roles are confusing,
Are they straight or a lesbian couple?
Round 2
To put an end to their friends' consternation,
Betty Lou had the sex operation.
Her breasts were so small, didn't touch them at all,
And the schlong they stitched on was quite nice.
But her doctors neglected to say the organ selected
Was Ben's old one, they'd kept it on ice.
When Ben saw it, he turned somewhat "vanillier",
And had thoughts that could not have been sillier.
But when Betty would ride him,
It felt like he was inside him,
And when he fondled and stroked it,
Or pinched it, or choked it,
He thought, "How odd,
This feels oddly familiar."
Coda
This is an age of sexual transitions,
And more and more people are defying traditions
Which may well cause some folks to be vexed by you.
But my advice to transgenders
Is don't surrender your "tenders"
Just to render your friends less perplexed by you.
