Blamin' My Affliction
I set out to write a poem
For Leighann’s Affliction contest
My ADD was in full force but
I was full of promise and zest
So I wrote a couple of lines
Then noticed the grimy floor
Polished the dusty mantle
Gawked at the hot guy next door
I sat back down to write
To focus and stay on task
O Wait…that new soap opera
And my cucumber face mask
Then I read the contest rules
AFTER I wrote these lines
It was supposed to be free verse
And my oversight shines!
Since I failed to follow directions
I say with true conviction
If I do not place in this contest….
I’ll blame it on my affliction
*Though I made light of it in this poem, Attention Deficient Disorder (commonly known as ADD or ADHD) is a serious disorder, but treatment is available. Treatment (for you or your children) is not something to be feared-it changed my life!!!
