It Fell On Deaf Ears!This time last week… When I got the hospital letter, It said I had to go for a visit, I thought it was to train me to hear better! So I got there not really concerned, I mean, after all what can I say? It didn't really bother me… They were going to fix my hearing weren't they! Well horror shock and wotsits, Cor blimey what will I do? They can't help me to hear better they said, Cos there's not much sound getting through! So she sat and told me this and that, And I told her that is fine, I mean at the end of the day, I already do that all the time! …That's… Sit facing everyone I chat too, And focus on their lips, So that when I miss hear what they say, I can scan their face for tips! And when anyone wants to chat to me, They don't chat from across the table, Cos they always make sure their next to me, Because my hearing just isn't able! Every time I'm out and about, At places that we socialise in, Most of the time, they don't chat to me, Cos with noises all around me, I just can't win! And when anyone asks me a question, They always say to me…What? What? What? And laugh when they tell me a tale or two, And laugh over the problem I've got! I can't tell you how many times that is, Because I tell you true… I miss-hear so often, and badly so, That a joke just won't get through. But no matter I don't catch the joke, Or the words that they tell to me, We have a laugh anyway… Cos it gets so mixed up with me! What? What? What? They laugh to me, Cor blimey though, this is fun, I mean, after all what can I say? We laugh over what's said and done! They tell me that I shout a lot, And of course, I don't that's true! Well, I guess cos I can't hear too well, I wouldn't really have a clue! And when I'm on the telephone, Cor blimey, what a pain! I'm trying my best to listen, But I get it wrong once again! We meet and chat in the café' When out and about at the shops, And always they all laugh at me… Cos me hearing aint the tops! I miss hear conversations, And blimey – oh what fun! Cos I get the topic wrong again! I go sick wondering what I've done! But I have to say, my hearings bad, But hey, look out here I come! At least we laugh our heads off, Over what I've said and done! So anyway, where was I? Oh yes, of course, silly me! I was telling you about the hospital… And what the doctor had planned for me! ‘Go to the deaf centre!' The doctor told me, ‘Get amplifiers for the T.V.' ‘And a door bell like Big Ben!' That's what she said to me! ‘And get an amplifier for the radio,' ‘And get one on the phone too!' Oh cor blimey and sugar plumbs, I think the message finally came through! So here I am sitting laughing, Cos she said my job stood me in good stead, I'm a sign language communicator! So it don't matter if my hearings dead! Way to go God… He did it again! …One door closes… But there's always another open! Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem
