Verses from Headlines in the Washington Post -- Merriam-Webster adds non-binary pronoun ‘they’ to dictionary -- Trump administration to revoke California’s power to set stricter auto emissions standards.

I do not wish to ever chide

a person who cannot decide

which gender they would rather be,

but must we change our glossary?

It is an old man's bitter fate

that language skills deteriorate;

I want my Webster's to abide

the way it was before fluoride.

**********************************

An older president is fine;

I see no problems coming

from a chief of state who must

eat his food by gumming.

With libido put to bed

and peacefully a-snoring,

at least an older president

will not go out a-whoring.

*********************************

Out there in the Golden State

Trump has sealed their breathing fate.

Without tougher standards they

will asphyxiate some day.

But polluting gasoline

must be given lights of green;

all because such fossil fuels

are part of Mr. Trump's crown jewels.
