Hey Retardation

(what does soup mean to you?) World without a spine looking through nonchalant eyes, glad I’m here, my final fling to discard this broken body. Children laugh to them I’m strange no adult to treat me my age, glad I’m here, my final fling to discard this broken brain. © Harry J Horsman 2010

What a terrific entry for Nikko's contest, Harry! You really drew me in right away with "World without a spine." Those kids who are laughing will be old one day, so the joke's on them. Good luck in the contest. Diane

Wow! This poem says so much using just 29 words. We may be feeling old today, but I suspect we won't be any younger tomorrow. LOL Harry, I didn't understand your comment about my zoo poem having two-legged lizards. But I did leave a comment on another member's poem which was about lizards. I think you have a definite winner here! Love, Carolyn
