Political Correctness

Has the world gone completely mad
All the words we've been using
Are quickly changing, it's so sad
I am a woman 
Feminine as can be
I still call a spade a spade
And a she a she
It does not offend me
Or cause me any strife
I am still a person
I am my Husband's Wife
I am independent and unique as well
Since I was born a female
I'm delighted I am a girl
I do not feel my gender is for others to debate
Have they nothing on their agenda
Of which we people can relate
There must be many others
That think the same as I
It makes no sense of lots of things
And you start thinking why
Are they interfering in this unnecessary direction
I'm quite happy as they were familiar and perfection

ps
A thought has just occurred to me
I wonder how it would be
If you could no longer call an E mu an Emu
But Personmu or She
(TeeHee!!!!!!)

People are just frustrated that their god is not doing his/her job, but are reluctant to switch gods just in case she/he finds out! Aloha! Rico
