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.
