They

I know this isn’t quite PC But if I had my way, The gender-fluid people Could not singularize “they.” The New York Times accepts it, Also making single “their.” For English teachers, such a use Is reason to despair. I try to understand those folks Who are not “he” or “she” And know that modern life demands That’s how it’s got to be. But let them form some pronouns Which don’t currently exist, Creative words that by the grammar Police won’t be dismissed. The world’s evolving, that’s for sure, And many things are strange, Yet I believe that certain rules Should not be forced to change.
