Notes About The Poem
Author's note: A bit of tongue in cheek fun here. Though I am ambidextrous in most things, my husband says my thinking "is very much left-handed."
My response was, "Since you are right handed, your accusation must mean 'able to get to the point without using an inordinate amount of utterly unnecessary words.'" -.-
Left-Handed Lament
My paper is always turned so people don't judge;
because yes if it's vertical my work will be smudged.
With the other I've tried to write;
but man it just doesn't look right.
When I bat on that side
the ump runs to hide.
I can't even start on that foot,
my balance pretty much kaput.
And do not get me started on that 'right-handed thinking;'
to grasp that logic's like being on a ship that is sinking!
So over the decades I've often had to interject,
that being left-handed is the obvious 'correct.'
