POETRY

IT'S POLITICAL CORRECTNESS GONE MAD!

It's political correctness gone mad they cried!

you can't call them black bin liners anymore.

It's political correctness gone mad they cried!

you must write five hundred times on the 

classroom chalk board.

It's political correctness gone mad they cried!

please direct your question through the chair,

we're all persons now, not he, she, him, or her

I've read it in the newspapers so it must be true,

those Town hall Bureaucrats have made it clear

they don't want your sexist, racist language here.

"But I've always called them Golliwogs," she replies

"It's part of my cultural heritage, why should I stop now,

 just because you find it offensive?"

 

It's political correctness gone mad they cried!

you can't call the barmaid "luv" anymore

It's political correctness gone mad they cried!

it will become illegal to have Gents and Ladies

 on the toilet door.

It's political correctness gone mad they cried!

that E.U. Directive has been enshrined into British Law,

and if you don't obey it, a P.C., P.C. will be paying you a visit,

the vocabulary, constabulary won't permit it.

"But I've always called a spade a spade," he replies,

not a soil displacement/relocation implement,

and if I have a flat tyre I use a jack,

not an interim, vehicle, vertical, lifting support.

 

It's political correctness gone mad they cried!

Action Man, Cindy, Barbie and Ken will soon be banned.

It's political correctness gone mad they cried!

tunnel kiosks are now unstaffed not unmanned.

It's political correctness gone mad they cried!

Ba Ba Black Sheep has now been deleted,

they've put Humpty-Dumpty on a low fat diet.

John and Janet have been replaced by Adrian and Peter

or Fiona and Inram, to represent our

 multiracial, transgender society.

But we've always taken the piss, they reply

Out off:- The Irish, blacks, homosexuals, gypsies, Jews,

The handicapped, the fat, the thin, the baldy, the ginger,

The mentally ill, mother in laws, foreigners, Scousers, Geordies, 

Cockneys, glasses wearers, church goers, Morris Dancers,

Train-Spotters, dyslexic suffers, stut, stut, stutterers, 

And even poets!!

So where's your sense of humour gone?

It's just a little bit of harmless fun, isn't it?
