Lithp

I am curthed with a lithp, 
there'th no rethpite in thight,
cannot mathter my thpeech, 
can't ecthpreth my thore plight.

Got a cold in by node,
cannot rethtrain a thneethe,
my condition'th pathetic,
I'm down on my kneeth!

I'll thtrive to be fearleth,
to thubdue my thtreth, 
but I'm lothing the fight
to thuthtain happineth!

I had to laugh at this one even though a speech impairment is not funny. My little grandson has a speech impairment (with the lisp)and sometimes the things he says just hits me funny...Belinda
