Ess

(For a bit, at school, ‘ess’ was shorthand for ‘essence’,
meaning 'brilliant’, i.e. ‘It were ‘ess' = 'it was brilliant')

Blokes debate
The necessity
Of the
‘-Ess’ suffix.
Actor,
Actress.
Manager,
Manageress.
To excessive
Excess.
It's important
To them, it seems.
In, the barperson leans.

These cerebrally
Impotent bloke-esses,
Discusses,
The unnecessary-ness
Of lack of success
To homestead press
Such Jurassic parquess
Suffixes,
There’s a
Verbal express-ness
Of the unequivocal-essness
Of the mandatorial-essness
Of the quintessential 'esses'.
The barperson expresses
Some distresses
Without successes,
'Cos the bloke-esses
Have myopic deafness.

Repressiveness,
Is the assertives' assetess,
Manifesting in this
Manesses’ congress,
Putting to press
This malevolentess
Incompetentress's
Seethers' digest
Of incomprehensibleness.

These imbalanced genderists
In the bars' breasts
Nest and coalesce
And request:
No more outspokenness!
Or balance upsets!
'Cos lest we forgets:
That's just
The way
It is
Bruv.
(Ess.)
