Sonnet 148

Can't get stags in onsies outta my head:

Wee pickles neatly zipped up out of sight -

Where's their masculinity hormones fled?

Who's falsely censored what lads thought aright?

Lassies finding hens make a better dote:

French kissing openly on my street, so

What does heteronormality* denote?

Love's eye's more right than when "no" wasn't "no":

Not just Cupid - we too were blind to  true.

Us Eurovision viewers moved to tears

Like our glam bearded laydeez free to view:

The sun sees what no bigot censor clears.

    No he's or she's, just "it's"** if love is blind,

    Fault and faults left to hateful eyes to find.

*President Putin's word.
