Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Gender Bender

To behave like a lady or
To behave like a gentleman
Should be an instilled value for
Parenting a daughter or son.
There is never any excuse
For bad manners by he or she,
And that includes gender abuse,
If that is the intent really.
Perhaps one day we will evolve
Into female and male combined.
Gender pettiness - that might solve,
But new pettiness we would find.

It is bad manners to be rude,
Whether the source be babe or dude.
