Memory Lane
I took a meandering jaunt through my mind
I searched every crevice to see what I’d find
Some memories were useful, while others were not
I stumbled on some things I thought I’d forgot
About halfway through, well…I made a sharp right
and what lay before, was a rather strange sight
I can’t say for sure that my mind played a trick
what I saw was a woman, except she had a…
Quick as the wind, well I turned right around
and I ran and I ran and I ran ‘til I found
I was feeling quite nervous, and starting to doubt
whether there was an exit, or any way out.
But then from a distant recess came a noise
it sounded like laughter of young girls and boys.
So I followed my ears just to see where it led
what I found weren’t children, but monsters instead.
“Neutrals” is what they were labeled I think;
and all them hated both blue things and pink.
I didn’t have time for their nonsense at all
but when I tried to leave, they all grew super tall!
The neutrals were giants with size 18 feet,
they were angry and shouting, I had to retreat.
Their wrath was a rainstorm with nowhere to hide
I’ll not say much more, but this bit I’ll confide:
This jaunt through my mind, isn’t crazy at all
most of it came off today’s Facebook wall.

*Apparently there is lots of controversy today over Target changing their signs to be gender neutral, and there is a lot of noise about gender identity, hyper-gendering, neutral gendering etc. It mostly all seems like nonsense to me...if you couldn't tell, haha.
