I confess I will uphold this new law

preventing those not of gendered birth to live

(which includes me, though I am but a bore

who drones about transgender rights to give.)

But only if hypocrisy be shunned

and ancient laws be also set in stone

where adulterers into their graves be gunned

and those who eat of lobster meat be drowned.

Unwedded women who conceive a child

according to the Book of Numbers drink

tainted with the dirt of temple floor, piled

with curses 'til their womb aborts, I think.

 I will support your Fascist condemnation

 if such laws apply to ev'ry station.
