I am a dunce
If you want to call it that
I cannot read or write
Why I have the dunce’s hat
.
I’m different, maybe
If you like
I’ll have to get through it
I’ll have to fight
.
Exams, well I failed
Highest I got was a C
Unfortunately it wasn’t enough
No qualifications for me
.
The day my son noticed
Mum read better than me
The day I revealed
This flaw I had in me
.
You see, I was not stupid, nor lazy
No, it wasn’t the case
But the kids would laugh
It was out of place
.
Dyslexia, disabilities,
Names that we hear
Spelling, grammar, hell
These are words that I fear
.
I may be different
It doesn’t mean I cannot succeed
I am proud to be me
Mark my words, take heed
.
My new books are available on Amazon
