Citizen Potato Head is a Class Enemy
“A mister no more:
Mr. Potato Head goes gender neutral”
-Mr. Potato Head receives gender
neutral name, drops title (usatoday.com)
“Mr.” indeed! No, no,
Citizen Potato Head!
Bourgeois titles are
forbidden by law
As are toys lacking in
social realism
Clearly you are no good
Comrade of ours
Lower your eyes in shame,
Citizen Potato Head!
Your periderm, your lenticels,
your pith
Your reactionary apical
buds and lenticles
Your counter-revolutionary
vascular ring
Your heteronormative
attitude -
All condemn you – and
there can be no a-peel!
