10 Things you should know about me 1.0
1.
I am impotent
I am kinda like
A rhinoceros
Without the horn
2.
I have an eye for the ladies
Which I take out and polish
Every night
3.
My teeth are all my own
Technically that wasn’t true
I also take them out and polish
Them every night
But they are mine
Unless you want to try
Them for size
4.
I have the heart of a lion
And the balls of a poet
Which makes interesting
Reading; lots of roaring
And things that rhyme
With Gonads
5.
I have hatred for haters
And those who hate
Even if they hate the haters
Hating with hate for haters
Should not be hated
And I hate anyone with hatred
That hates this poem
6.
I used to be a boxer
A boxer dog that is
I was forever humping
Other peoples legs
But then; I couldn’t
Hump my own legs
Could I?
Go on, go on
Tickle my tummy
7.
I am missing both my legs
They’ve been gone a while
They never write
They never phone
Not even a postcard
Wish they were here!
8.
I am my own worst enemy
I am forever slapping the
Shit out of myself
And calling me names
Bad names
Both C words
9.
I never eat my greens
Despite all the posturing
Of others, despite the
Nagging;
“Eat up your greens
Eat up your greens!”
Personally I prefer
To blow them into
A handkerchief
10.
I have decided that my new
Gender identification is as
A basket of fruit
I will expect you
To use the correct
Pronouns from now on
Berry
Compote
Peel
And
Tangerine
Thank you

I love tangerines and berries! No greens, eh? There are green fruits...grapes, kiwi, apples...just saying. You always bring smile to my face with your posts...no, actually that's not true. Some of them make me frown. But mostly you make me smile. It's great to meet you, Tangerine! Lotsa hugs for you! ☺

David . . .while I laugh at the apparent humour and clever wit of your verses, I also feel a sense of sadness and anger that someone should endure what you have.
And yet, how would we each learn of grace without those such as you who have overcome such overwhelming odds to become the person and example you are to us today.

People ask me why I write about my childhood so much, dark as it was - I write for fellow sufferers so they know they are not alone, I write it for a general readership so that they know what goes on and i write it for parents hoping that they will be so disgusted they will not be tempted to do similar - that just came out, not sure maybe it speaks to your wise comments :-) Thank you :-)
