The Right Hand

Like men, I've loved another kind of person for my entire life.

Yours is a true mystery

that baffled people through history

A unique and unsung power

that could captivate me for hours

It was said you all were cursed - 

I'm afraid my fate is worse

All I can do is admire

the ability I so desire

If you're considered a freak,

yours is the circus I seek

For me, it's always suspeneful

watching you weild a utensil
Few things are as exciting 

as watching you while you're writing

Feeling your grip

my language may slip - 

I'm constantly biting my lip

And whenever you draw,

it drops my jaw, 

as if ordained by law

How can you use with such purpose

an extremity I feel is worthless

It's the way you move so deftly

that makes me love you lefties

If I had a choice

to express what I've voiced -

fellow lefty fanatics rejoice!

The path I would choose 

is to walk in your shoes

and switch up the hand that I use

Author's Note

Flanders has the right idea. ;) ...left. THE RIGHT IDEA ABOUT THE LEFT. Yes. :)
Lol. I'm being silly, but I really do love lefties. You people are fascinating.

A novel view mirroring the conventional. And now you mention it they are cute fascinating creatures. But be careful as some of them bite.

I assume you refer to Ned Flanders - it's difficult to have such deeply held opinions about the political standpoint of the Flemish. ;)

And I like the way that the rhyme is understated. An entertaining and curious piece.

love it , I have seen more lefties able to play a right hand guitar than right hander's play a left hand guitar .

Funny.....and creative too.

I am righthanded in every way except when i eat. I know thats wierd but my sister always sat at the table to my right and was always pushing against me which she knew i hated.....so i started eating left handed and it stuck!

i find lefties fascinating too - as if they rule :D but righties try to make them drool and see them as fools :)
my favorite quote out there about lefties is
"i may be a leftie but i'm always right" :D

1. felt sorry for me and,
2. couldn't read it hahaha
