Blind

I never really ever saw What you did to me But one day I woke up And suddenly could not see! I hollered for my momma I don’t think she heard me So I hobbled down my 30 steps Why does it have to be 30? And then I lurched forward Screaming like a banshee As I rolled down the stairs I’m sure I broke my knee My momma yells from the kitchen, “Come and have some tea!” So I yelled back, “But I can’t even see!” My momma rushed over And closely inspected me Then she exclaimed with obvious glee the exact reason why I could not see “Your eyes are red, and you can’t see, because you stare at that computer all day, what else could it be!”
