I Can'T Read Or Write

I didn't get much schooling so I can't read or write. Many people don't understand my situation and plight. I thought I was buying sugar but I bought salt. My cake made people puke and it was my fault. When I drive, I can't read stop signs so I always crash. Over thirty people have sued because of whiplash. When I was seven, Dad wouldn't let me go to school anymore. When a person can't read or write, it closes so many doors. I can count to ten but I have to use my fingers and thumbs. And if you actually believe I can't read or write after reading this poem, you are dumb.
