Compensation for Bro Salvatore

poem in rhymingcouplets

 

 

 

Compensation.

 

All of the senses I possess

 can still function more or less.

 

Except my sense of hearing which

is dependent on the switch.

 

Located on my hearing aid

I use it when I wish to trade.

 

The world of sound for quietness

An ability which I bless.

 

When I wish to concentrate

 it’s something I appreciate.

 

A little  trick which I employ

 to block distractions which annoy.

 

I hear almost a well as you

 when I decide that I want to.

 

I have two worlds to choose between

thanks to the digital machine

 

 I wear behind each of my ears

which I have used for many years.

"A little trick which I employ

Lol, had to smile at that one! Its a little trick my brother in law
has been using for years when he doesn't wish to hear what his
wife is saying!!

Good one Ivor.
