Get This Straight

Dear Uncle Sam, dear Uncle Sam,

Do you not know what sex I am,

Or is the whole thing just your little joke?

If it’s a joke, I’m not amused

That you pretend to be confused:

It makes me yowl: it makes me boil and choke.

It’s no good shouting, ‘What a chap!’

The fact is that I’m not a chap

And have no wish at all to be a bloke!

But there again, if your mistake

Is genuine – for heaven’s sake,

Your head must truly be as thick as oak!

It’s no good yelling, ‘Attaboy!

Look lively! What’s the matter, boy?’

The matter is that I am NOT A BLOKE!

Got that, Auntie?
