The Way I'm Wired

(FND awareness)

Functional Neurological Disorder
Sounds far more serious than required.
However, life now makes more sense.
That's how it is. It's the way I'm wired.

I thought I had a medical "epsy"
Due to crazy symptoms that make one tired.
It's good to know it's only FND.
It's not my fault. It's the way I'm wired.

The structural hardware works just fine.
(An explanation I've now hired...)
The wiring itself is up the creek,
So the wrong signals get fired.

Why have I come in here?
My memory has expired!
Yet, suddenly I remember that
It's down to the way I'm wired.

There's never a dull moment.
So much humour can be inspired!
There's many a joke that can be told
About the way I'm wired.

Definitely, being wired that way gets you out of all sorts of situations. Imagine killing the ex and blaming the blue wasn't neutral, the brown wasn't live, and earth was another planet.
