I Just Simply Want to be A Good Hu-Person Being
Copyright © 2021 William Kevin Stoos
I remember law school lecturers
With choice of words meticulous
Who strained to speak so gender-free
They sounded quite ridiculous.
They never said just “him” or “her,”
“Him/her” was always used;
Nor said they “he,” they used “he/she,”
Lest they became abused
By a group of vocal students
(Of the feminist persuasion)
Who hung upon their ev’ry word
And hissed on each occasion
When that poor ‘ole harried law
School prof dared to slip and render
Any noun or pronoun of the solely male gender.
