M, M, I, double-u, G, two, S
L, G, B, T, Q, Q, I, A, plus—
an acronym that sounds like a mess
of letters, causing some critics stress.
But some ask: really what’s all the fuss?
It looks imposing strung in a line,
yet Leah Gazan rattles it off,
not missing a beat, it sounds just fine,
no need for this heat, no need to whine.
She expected some people would scoff.
“I certainly am really happy
that bigots are offended by my
positions around equality,”
she said. It’s easy as A-B-C
for all that it makes her critics sigh.
Is this the ultimate acronym
to ensure that all get included?
With letters that make heads start to swim,
party analysts now sound so grim.
Right-wingers say it’s just deluded.
Left-wingers also hate this fusion
of separate causes into one
supposed non-competing union
saddled with unwanted communion
that now excludes hardly anyone.
Now that everyone has said they’ve won,
both sides want to include inclusion.
That gives us all a chance to have fun
as long as it is not overdone.
And that brings us to this conclusion.
