WOKE

 

In these days of political correctness

Woke does little than cause more stress

Their cure for discrimination seems to be

To still discriminate but to do it positively

And in order to enable freedom of expression

It appears that censorship is the solution

JOLLY

 

To be politically correct

We must call fat people, jolly

And the really fat people

Have to be called morbidly jolly

THAT'S POLITICAL CORRECTNESS THAT IS # 2

 

That's political correctness that is

When my little neighbour Allen

A short ass with a chip on his shoulder

Is actually vertically challenged

TAKING OFFENCE

 

People are so easily offended today

This is quite ironic really

As due to political correctness

We are censored so heavily

And with all the sanitising

There is so little opportunity

But those who do take offence

Fall into three distinct categories

 

Firstly, the genuinely offended

Those who feel the detriment, 

Whose opinion is seldom heard

Unless it’s politically expedient

 

Second, the white middle class heterosexuals

Who like to be offended on others behalf

And are particularly suspicious

At anything that gets a laugh

 

Thirdly, come the professionals

Those who get offended for a living

They frequent the morning TV sofas

And are relentlessly unforgiving

 

The professionals feel no offence

But find their roles financially fulfilling

They will take umbrage for anyone

Just to earn another shilling

 

Even worse however is anticipated offence

Those who want to act just in case

Some unspeakable offence may be caused

If things are unchanged or left in place

 

The original intention may well have been

That a better society was planned

But what they have managed to do instead

Is to make the world more bland

MISSING OUT

 

They’ve taken all the fun away

It’s prohibited from the school day

Thanks to the politically correct crusade

And the health and safety brigade

There can be no unacceptable names

Or boisterous competitive games

Now playing in the snow and ice

You must play games safe and nice

The nanny state has declared

That the nation’s children must be spared

But when I was a child, we did alright

And we did survive an occasional fight

But we had more freedom in my view

We could choose what things to do

You didn’t have to climb in trees

Or pick the scabs off wounded knees

You didn’t have to play kiss chase

Or catch a snowball in the face

You didn’t have to make a slide in the snow

If you didn’t want to you could say no

Conkers was not a compulsory game

You didn’t have to call girls names

You could roll in the grass again and again

Or jump in puddles after heavy rain

You didn’t have to skip with girls

Or run with grass seed in your curls

If you didn’t want to there was no need

You could sit alone and quietly and read

But if you chose to you could do it

And after all we were young and fit

LIBERALLY HUMEROUS?

 

Don’t you just love them?

If only for their belief in equality

Or a love of all things PC

And an unswerving moral certainty

It’s a shame that to become a liberal

A sense of humour bypass is necessary

SOUP QUESTION

 

Here is a question

For a Politically Correct group 

Do illiterate people get the benefit

Of Alphabet Soup?

PC COFFEE

 

Coffee, black

That’s all I crave

Nothing fancy

Just black coffee

Not latte

Or espresso

But now I’m told

It’s not PC

To ask for black coffee

Apparently

To be PC

I must order

Coffee without milk
