When the CDC drafts its new budget requests
Some words aren’t allowed by Director’s behest
No, they’re not all the bad words in vogue much these days
All of those are allowed, else there’s nothing to say
The words are: “transgender”, “science”-something and fetus
And even “diversity”, where that may leads us
To somehow decipher Director’s intent
Just what was his purpose? It’s something hell bent
The pundits are guessing. What motives might be?
A strange group of words, no connections they see
Some men in the Congress detest words like these
They might not approve the whole budget it seems
But I think it’s simple: the key word is fetus
Since words that are alternate might so entrap us
By labeling unborns as true human beings
And every abortion is murder, their reasoning
So why other words on the list of forbidden?
To mask true intent so their purpose is hidden
Else many more words would show up on the list
This makes it a puzzle we cannot resist
