My Lisp
I can't pronounce words with the letter "s" in it.
Slippery slimy slugs just won't come out correct,
and I DON'T have a lisp,
it's just a small miscalculation on the part of my tongue.
Or the connection my brain shares with it.
It can be annoying or make my poetry more boring,
or enhance it and make it more unique or stick in your mind better.
And that's an ultimate goal of mine consider it a mind bender.
Am I a freak who can't speak or just a human being with a tongue too big for his mouth.
There are some advantages to having a big tongue,
like I'm an expert ice cream eater and l can reach it when I hold it about 4 centimeters away from my mouth.
What a feat?
It's fascinating when I say exasperating.
My name has no S's in it cause I wouldn't be able to say it
or I could and it would just be exhausting.
It's a work out for me to say I sea see shells on the sea shore.
or on Jersey Shore Snookie acts like a...
Bore.
My tongue causes me many problems maybe in job interviews that's why I haven't got em'
or when I apply to University this spring I won't get in because
my tongue is a problem but I promise
I DON'T have a lisp
it's just a small miscalculation on the part of my tongue.
Or the connection my brain shares with it.
Can you relate to me? Do you have a feature that you blatantly hate?
Or think it makes you unappealing to date or maybe it's a more serious problem and always makes you late?
The wheel chair, or receding hair, the beer belly, the lazy eye,
this one's for my people with their tongues tied,
The one's who sometimes go alone and cry
because they don't feel like they can live a normal life.
This one's for the one's who feel like an artist trapped in the canvas,
because they can't draw but it's been their dream to have an artistic talent.
Or the sports guys who weigh a little more than the average jock
and pay the price for it after practice in the locker room, what kind of an athlete are ya'.
This one's for the poets who can't rhyme anything with orange,
I say open that door hinge, direct rhymes are boring.
The birds who feel like they'll never be soaring,
the one's who go to class every day but end up snoring..
Everybody has a different feature, is it lisping, ticking, shaking, making noises like a snake when you're meant to be sleeping, slipping cause you've only got one foot and it's icy out today.
Is it being too heavy that you're scared to find out what you weigh,
or have a lisp that makes people laugh at what you say?
Whatever it be, look at me,
my lisp will never succeed in stopping me from speaking
I hope this was the inspiration
you've been recently seeking.
