WORDS FAIL ME

I was in two minds about androgenous

(i had to check its leaning)

But I knew about misogynous

And how it was demeaning.

 

But the word had been created

And that fact got me thinking

What had seen it often stated

With no hint of nudge or winking?

 

What had brought about the name

And the accusing finger

That is very quick to blame

With cries of "Shame" that linger?

 

I wonder about the circumstance

That saw the imagination

To give the language such a word

Unless aggravated by aggravation?
