This Is the Story

girls and boys 
skinny or not 
ill tell you a story so pull up a chair or sit on the floor
a deaf man came to watch a play 
a another one came and said shout yay
the hearing people came and laugh at them just because of how they sound and how they talk
they think deaf people are stupid and cant do anything right
but what they don't know is that we are smarter then them 
and this play they don't understand 
they don't know  ASL
and they play is making fun of hearing people.
