Blind or Deaf do accept
What's your preference
In all my long life
of seven decades
plus
I have learned
only a thing
or
maybe two
first is this
''only a blind man
can have sympathy
for a deaf man'''
Question
to all of you
Who is better
a blind one or deaf
I am both
fifty fifty
one plus half -eye
one half
the other half -ear
divided by two
How would you rate me
if I ask you to do

I'm reminded of...
an old phrase my mother used to say; when speaking of someone who was not able to see the truth.
It went: " He was blind in one eye and couldn't see out of the other and not being able to find his eyes, he stuck his fingers in his ears." I guess that as long as you can still recognize the truth, you aren't so bad off. Not much in the way of a story here, more like a rant against getting old. ~ Gee.
