He said: "I'm your gay caballero!"
When he courted his sweet lady fair-o.
She said: "Sod off, Queer,
Don't want you round here."
And she flounced off with never a care-o.

I put it all down to semantics;
Why the poor lad missed out on romantics.
If he'd said "bold" not "gay",
He'd have had it away,
She'd have welcomed his phallus gigantix.
  (Nothing like a bit of pig latin when you are stuck for a rhyme.)

So the moral of this caution-ary
Tale is that if you wish to tarry,
Around a young maid,
And p'raps get her laid,
Invest in a new diction-ary.

--From Tiddy, who still mourns the way,
That pleasantly English word "gay",
Has been so mis-used,
So completely abused,
By those turd-burgling perverts, OK.

Tiddy (the voice of moderation.)
