If you have allergies you’ll probably take an anti-histamine,
But women take them as well as men,
So it should be called anti-herstamine.
If you angry about something you often throw a hissy fit,
But women have them quite often,
So why isn’t it called a hersy fit.
We know that history should be her story as well,
And when you boo something its called hiss
Women boo many things it should be called herss.
Why oh why is removal of the uterus called a hysterectomy,
Surely it should be a hersterectomy.
And when someone is angry they are called hysterical,
But women get angry too so it should be called hersterical.
Now when a women is famous she is called the Heroine,
If a man is famous it should be a Hisoine.
What about a brave man he is called a hero,
Surely he should be called a hisro.
If something is in the family it is hereditary,
But boys are born too,
It should be called hiseditary.
People who eat vegetables are called herbivores,
But men do that as well,
They should be called hisbivores
And even beyond death is called the hereafter,
What about the dead men,
They should go to the hisafter.
Godness His and hers is confusing
And this battle I am loosing.

We will chalk it up to the Latin, Greek, Germanic roots. A most fun read Just wondering why when we refer to the Spanish do we say Hispanic are they that excitable? According to your poem we should consider calling them Herpanic.
yes actually herspanic sound better than hispanic.Just a bit of fun I think.Thanks for commenting mi amigo
Very entertaining but valid questions, enjoyed the read
Just a bit of fun.Thanks for commenting
It was very enjoyable
Excellent write David
Thank you
You're welcome
Funny and too true that it’s hard to keep up with the politically correct changes in language. All these words have roots in other languages where “his” and “her” don’t necessarily pertain to gender anyways. Great write 😊
