And most importantly, even

three and four year old lads

are given frequent coy

propaganda about girlfriends

and plentiful reminders

along the lines of,

when you're all grown up and have

children of your own, you'll understand.

What, what, what, what will

that make anyone understand

that they couldn't safely have read about

with no risk to their personal freedom?

What are they all so wound up about?

Because of the family name?

Because they need someone to look after

them in their old age, selfish gits?

Or is it because it would be a

bad thing before one's neighbours

if one's nice little girl

turned into a bull dyke?

Or such a tough little boy

became a raving queen?

Is homosexuality the common cause of

parental death, as parents imagine,

or is it really fear of what

the neighbours will say?

If someone has the sense

to do what they want,

and go to bed with

someone of their own sex

and not force replicas of themselves

on the rest of this overcrowded world,

good luck to them!

They should be given medals, not

demoted or importuned and locked up.

In this dreadful world of

enforced sexual conformity,

little girls are tutored to

pure aspartame sweetness,

and to raise their voices an

octave, sounding more innocent

and plaintive when asking for

something, in a shop for instance.

The cute little mite lisps, Mummy, could

I have some of those nice sweeties,

when what she really needs is a smack

in the teeth. Welcome to the real world.

Little boys on the other

hands are indulged to be

conservatively naughty, cheecky,

and non-effeminately grimy.

What they actually need

for their education,

is one day a month compulsory

clad in a pink skirt.

Would Boy George be as he

is, if he had been made

to wear a pink skirt once a

month from the age of six?

You may have noticed just now

a gentleman walk behind me,

carrying a cardboard penguin.

If you didn't, then you're

not paying attention.

I'm not saying all this

for my own benefit you know.

I've gone to great lengths

to research this talk

so that the whole of

mankind might benefit.

It's inattention to education

that causes wars you know.

If the Germans had been

wiser and cared less.

about what the neighbours had said,

there would have been no world war two.

But no, you don't want to know,

and all peace protesters are

weirdoes, so the neighbours say,

and the Americans have got no

history and therefore can't think,

and the Russians are all very very very

very evil though I'm not quite sure how

except that it involves the KGB

and red something other...

Oh, you globe full of ninnies,

pull yourselves together!

Don't you realise we're
