Political e-correct
These poems are not bound to please.
No hard backs to bruise your knees.
No covers to grease up with cheese,
or quality paper for recycling with ease.
Political correctness is guaranteed
with no mention of race, sex or creed.
I criticise only those things safe to call,
so there is nothing left now to write at all.
....Except, to criticise the lines above;
I can since they were written by me.
The next few verses are missing you see
such language, opinion, bias free!
Notes by the author
The current upsurge of political correctness is similar in nature to the 'blame somebody for anything' movement. It has the effect of tending to stop activities altogether, rather than modifying unsavoury outcomes.
I suppose this is typical of nature in the sense that things tend to swing too far one direction and then too far in the opposite direction, and so on.
