Manhole

 

Berkley in the USA

Gender neutral names

Manhole, firemen, both are banned

They're into banning games

 

Manslaughter? and manhandle?

Manchester? will they fall?

We know that man in mankind

Does not mean men but all

 

Words often have two meanings

From context we can tell

Which meaning we are meant to take

Choose right, and all is well

 

Artificially distorting

Language just to please

A passing whim of neutraling

Gender's a disease

 

It's overboard, ridiculous

When will people see sense

To me this gender neutraling

Is stupid. Just plain dense
