pinhead

microcephalous

that's what you are

 

it means little to you

that a label is able to lift

the weight off your shoulders

and shift the onus elsewhere

 

to those who care 

 

special parents

for special persons

or you might end up

in a circus

 

the more you eat

the greater your head

will grow

 

if only it were as simple as that

if only you would sit still

if only you would listen

 

the stickers from school

say that you can

and you haven't bitten

anyone today

 

super!

Just browsing through Ray and found this gem of a write..I worked with a couple of lads a few years ago with this condition.. I think the last word 'super' is a wonderful end to it..

Thanks all. I posted this on PG a while back, Steve, and someone got very heated over me ending the poem on "super!"But it's exactly the kind of thing that's on the school stickers kids bring home these days.Super Listening!That's why it's there.
