THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW

THIS WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW Pink for a girl; blue for a boy, Was how we dressed our new bundles of joy. It was easy to tell a lass from a fellah, But now we have to dress them in yellah. It used to be simple to know for sure What gender they were; but not any more. They’ll decide for themselves in later life, Whether to be a husband or wife. The midwife, when spotting the relevant bit, Has to say to the mother, “You have an it.” There was no such confusion when Adam met Eve And she tempted him with a juicy James Grieve. The difference between them was plain to see. For he had one fig leaf and she had three.
