Nice Limerick on a controversial topic, Robert. I liked it. A poet friend in Texas, Bill I'm following your poetry now my friend.

I don't know why women don't get upset about being referred to as guys. I'd be offended if I was referred to as a gal all of the time! lol. Thank you for your following, may "the eyes of Texas" be upon you Bill! Robert

You are absolutely right Robert ! These days, from the pronouns we cannot decide the gender ! 'Gals' is truely getting obsolete....! I understand your 'concern'.

I used guys covering all the crew in my poem "Christmas In July Saint Monica's Mission" because it rhymed with July. Let me tell you, it felt weird! You're right on the mark! ~Anaya

Agreed. 100%. Maybe if we started calling guys -- gals! Oh, I guess we're already doing that, aren't we. ~ Still Thinking

I think that people who use old fashioned words are really the cats' pajamas! Although I wish the word gal was still part of the common lexicon.

I like the expression gal pal too. Girlfriend sounds too much like a boy/girl relationship

Love the word gal, it reminds me of square-dances and everything Americana, such a loss!

I think so, definitely, Robert. I'm having such difficulty understanding all of this "pronoun" talk.
