The Gender Mender

Printer-friendly version

Based on a semi-true story ...

Once there was a She …
who was born a He.

All her life,

a gender-bender.
Hers was a world of strife.

So she went to a gender-mender,
who did amend her.

Declared her employer:
“You’re a gender offender.

"Here’s your pink slip,
have a nice trip.”

“To work, I intend.”
She found a lawyer for to defend
her case in court to contend.

Said the judge to her employer:

“Grrr!
You’re a knob, and a pest.

She keeps her job, and this Court does rest.”

If you find my poem
Full of crimes against rhymes...

Leave me alone,
and levy no fines.
I’ll not pay even two dimes!

I can’t pretend
my work will not offend.

So be glad we have reached:

The End.

Crimes against Rhymes?

I'll pay you two dimes
And clear you of any crime
The sentence for the boss
who is clearly at a loss
to be made to wear a skirt
so tight that it hurt
him to walk
That it would make him croak
"Being a woman is no joke"

Not quite as good at the rhyme as yours. Well done
Samantha

This is a delight

I'm not going to try for prose,
but then again I suppose,
Why not?

This was exquisite.
And now I can't think of a rhyme.
Thanks for brightening my day.
