Political correctness
Sometimes goes a bit too far,
For certain things should be accepted
Just the way they are.
The controversy swirling now
About a certain song
Recorded many years ago
Appears, to me, just wrong.
The lyrics, in the "Me too" glare
May seem like they do prove
A woman's being pressured
By a man who's on the move.
She claims she has to leave
And he convinces her to stay
Ostensibly for sex, though
It's not black and white, but gray.
In 1944 the words
Were funny, cute and flirty
But underneath a microscope
They're creepy, even dirty.
There's so much we can focus on
Within the "Me too" zone
That when it comes to classic songs,
They should be left alone.
