Nym Fuss 10 Asea

It seemed like my blind date was dim
As my pronouns are "he" and "him"
With 1 prick 4 play
How can I be "they"? 
Unless I missed a sin o Nym?

Ha! I agree that the use of “they” as a singular pronoun is totally confusing. Also, as a former English teacher, it goes against all the grammar rules I taught for so many years. Leave it to you to inject some humor into the situation, Rico!

It is all Greek to me, so no offense intended! "Mantis" is Greek for "prophet", and I am no prophet, yet I would recommend transgenders avoid Manti, Utah's Preying Mantis Relief Society . . . . .
