Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Master Class

Buy a house in Houston
And be in for a surprise.
You cannot try the master bath
Or bedroom on for size.

For “master” in descriptions
Hints of slavery and so
The bed and bath are “primary,”
A helpful thing to know.

So many words are changing
It could be a real disaster
If we can’t keep up because of all
The rules to (uh-oh!) master.

John Watt July 11, 2020 at 6:35 PM In my field of electrical engineering there are master-slave circuits which describe which circuit acts and which reacts. I imagine that will be revised. Also male and female connectors? You never know, it could become they and they connectors depending on how they identify.
