A Moot Point
Excuse me; I can't hear you
My batteries must be flat
I am not sure I have my hearing aid in
As I am as blind as a bat
What did you say? Feel
Feel? that won't do any good
I would have done that in the first place.
If I felt I could.
Could you repeat what you were saying?
I still can't hear.
Please speak up and make it clear.
Any deaf person would have heard the caller shout,
With my mouth wide open, I tried to work it out,
I screamed back; what did you say I've done?
Madam, you have won the lottery, a tidy sum.
I was speechless, struck dumb.
