he we they thee she
pronouns used lavishly
I understand why we’re not limited to two
But when so many want a new one, what do we do?...

It seemed like my blind date was dim
As my pronouns are "he" and "him"
With 1 prick 4 play
How can I be "they"? 
Unless I missed a sin o Nym?...

Millions of Ukrainians without water, power or heat
     But his pronouns he didn't know

  Volodymyr beat a hasty retreat
     Hopeful he came; incredulous he would go...

There I was standing at the Pearly Gates
I was so excited to learn my fate
   First, they sat me down
   On my head a crown
Then the question ~ What are your pronouns, mate?!...

aka Laugh-in Stock

Trump's tie hangs below his buckle
To advertise honey suckle?
But Trump's in the red
So no pronouns shed
Though it does make some folks chuckle!...

Spin the words 
    Around my head
    Verbs and adverbs
    Nouns and pronouns
    such poor stuff
    To hold my emotions
    At bay
    Why
    Cannot I
    Use
    Colour?...

Yes, let us defend Latvia's 1.9 million souls
  while we let Ukraine's 44 million die on the vine

As we froth over inequity and gender pronouns
  ~ pretending that Europe's just fine...

If this poem were in
Finnish, the pronouns
would have no gender;

so,

I love it.
Its hair falls and moves.
Its eyes are
opaque
as dust in a glass.

Binary and non-binary got in a fight
  Their pronouns and hashtags struggled all night.
    Neither could defeat the other
    If they'd just merge, they might be brothers ~
  Up above, the One and Only Pre-binary turned out the light...

Always spell God’s name with a capital “G”.
Also capitalize the first letter of “He”, “Him”, and other pronouns.
Remember, it is His power over the universe that abounds.

Shalt not listen.
Effective means signified.
Legitimate means require.
Fresh hurrahs let.


Satisfactions desire.
Adjective pronouns search.
Manifold perplexities stand.
Excursive glees mean

My girlfriend has a girlfriend
as pigeons flee the roost
Pronouns crying God knows what
knots are coming loose

I was my girlfriend’s boyfriend
when lines unblurred defined
My love abeyant, Limbo’s child
—left here misaligned

Answering with phrases loaned…
a paradox recalled

The choices, nouns and pronouns,
all verbs to rise or fall

Old questions freed, all doubt besieged,
defined and then dethroned

The power in each chosen word,
to borrow—not to own

Big Ben is a clock tower
Now and then it needs winding up,
so up he goes to the clock
a little man with a big key.

In 2013 Ben underwent a sex change
he is now called the 'Elizabeth Tower'
it's a cultural transgender Icon now.

When the little man winds her up
she goes off.
Sex is timeless....

How do we say “we” across the ages,
we jigsaw-pieces of a human fate?
As this man hoards, that one starves or rages.
How do we say “we” across the ages
of a history stumbling through its stages?
Here we are at eternity’s sheer gate,
trying to say “we” across the ages – 
we jigsaw-pieces of a human fate....

To the heart, there are
no dehumanized objects;
even viewed from afar
each has a given Name.
And in that place,
not of names but of personal pronouns,
where I converse with Me,
the recognition is manifest
That You and You
are also We.
And even those We think as They
still have a voice,
something to say....

with this sing
i songly wed
i did you and
you did too

i bridled the not
French but Spanish
kiss thus tightening
the knot not loosening

i now pronounce you
pronouns in the eyes
of a looney tune spit
sputtering Sylvester

stutter Puddy Cat
and i say i say i say
Leg Horn as a
southern fog drawls in...

God knows I love you
He hears it every day.
In morning devotion
As tears clean dust
From the ducts

I kneel and pray
Kneel and pray
But as time goes on
Those three words stay

Two pronouns, one verb
Every morning the air disturb
Turbulent words

From my heart they come
With blessings and pain

For you...

Many are her faces
          Wry, sly, a twinkle in her eye
        Gregarious, oft-times hilarious
          Not easily intimidated, yet shy...

        Serious, without dreariness
          Considerate, deliberate, AI-literate
        Caring, sharing, even a tad daring

Help me smother this irritation ~ with lines and punctuations ~ 

Feed me pronouns ~ to drown incompetent sounds ~

Nouns to block inevitable frowns ~ verbs to calm nerves ~

Synonyms to perpetuate and penetrate minds ~ antonyms to reiterate in rhyme~

Give me a vocabulary of words to express my perturb ~ why must people be so absurd

“Lullaby” 


it's all in the mind
she says
not in the words
just a little scribbling
on the door 
written in 
invisible ink
red as life
safe passcodes 
that do not require
pronouns

Late at night, way up north, Santa delves
into making identity elves.
When pressed, none remember
their pronouns or gender,
but it’s specist to sit upon shelves.

Who asks such frivolity?
This is indeed a jollity!

Whom does he call when he’s sick?
A doctor or nurse will come quick!

Whose time do we waste looking?
I need to finish my cooking!

Which is the correct usage?
I cannot take that abusage!

Where are the others, What? When?
Back from whence they’ve already been!

Why express the obvious?
Contest is for the audience!...

Years ago, when men wore hats
And women heels instead of flats,
Who knew unsaturated fats
Were somehow kind of healthy?  

When TV’s were in black and white
And folks dressed up before a flight,
Who knew that every deep-fried bite
Would need us to be stealthy?

When ice cream cones cost 15 cents
And pronouns didn’t cause offense,
Who knew with rules some could dispense 
And wind up smug and wealthy?...
