    I am not sure if many people here have heard about the Indian author Vikram Seth. He is bisexual and wrote this funny poem a long time ago...

    Dubious

    Some men like Jack and some like Jill
    I'm glad I like them both but still
    I wonder if this freewheeling
    Really is an enlightened thing,
    Or is its greater scope a sign
    Of deviance from some party line?
    In the strict ranks of Gay and Straight
    What is my status: Stray? Or Great?

    I have never read this particular poem by Vikram Seth but it is funny. He has written some pretty nice poems.
