Sight Unseen

My glasses are for distance; I remove them when I read. I couldn’t drive without them, though – That much is guaranteed. Yet when I sit down for a meal, My glasses have to go. They bother me when eating, Although why, I do not know. It’s really quite annoying In a restaurant, ‘cause hey – I don’t know where to put them Where they won’t get in the way. There’s only so much table space And it seems like a pain To have them hung around my neck On some fahcocta* chain. I guess they’d rest upon my head But they’d mess up my hair. I wouldn’t feel too comfortable If they were perched up there. If I rated all my problems, This is bottom of the slate, But I’m sure that there are other Glasses-wearers who’d relate. *ridiculous

Bifocals for up close and far. And always when I'm in the car. But when I'm at the table conversatin'. They just get in the way of my relatin'.

Mine are just the opposite---for reading. My son taught be to hang them by a temple, from the top of my shirt. Enjoyed, Ilene
