Deaf Poetry Jam

by DJNewStyle on April 23, 2007

As a child a schoolmate asked
why my speech was not so clear
His mouth had moved and his words projected
but, ASSHOLE, I cannot hear.

Oh, how terrible they were to me
they'd abuse me all day long
They'd tie me down and call me names
and lip-synch shitty songs

My life was hell, I must say so
but if I did you'd probably laugh
You pricks would ask, "Who stars in Scrubs?"
because its funny when I say Zach Braff

A gym class whistle, an atomic bomb
to me they sound the same
When I ride my bike I can't hear shit
and get hit while in passing lanes

I long to hear a rooster
or the noise from a car's ignition
but my fingers tire, so I'll stop typing
and finish with Speech recognition

Derrrp deehh denny deeeddy
