Excuse My Illegible Typing

If my typing seems illegible some times
I tend slant it to the left or the right,
Forgive me if you cannot read it, 
Let me know please don’t get up tight.

See I was born with this left-handedness,
And I am not to blame.
I take after by poor old dad,
Who suffered from it just the same.

It is all to do with how you place your key board,
I face mine left instead of straight in front of me.
This gives the letters a right hand slant,
Look closely at the screen and you will see.

So now if your eyes have gone all squint,
And you’ve read and done all I ask.
Then you just as insane as me,
For this insanity test you can give yourself a pass.
