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
