Yankee Doodle In King Joe B's Court

Feathered hat, fife and drum
    Doodle's entrance a smash
  Though in the air, all around him
    float sweet marijuana and hash

  'Young lady,' begins Doodle - O, the naivete!
    'I'm a he not a she,' the young thing announces
  'Are you non-binary, (you) kwir coquette?' 

  Doodle scratches his head, looks to heaven
    What strange folks are these, he wonders
  Where he is she and she is he... Who is me?
    All is folly! ~ the race now riven asunder

You have asked the 64-million dollar question, Shirley. I say -- spaghetti
