Not So Gay

Denied any physical
contact with girls
by grown-up hypocrisy
some boys secretly
turn to each other
and become habituated.
Likewise forbidden
contact with boys
by parental sanctimony
some girls secretly
turn to each other
and become addicted.
But addictive habits
lure and seduce
more children astray,
so to save the family
teach boys and girls
to respect each other
and let them play!
