Not long ago, while going to school,
Children learned about the golden rule.
And things didn’t always go as planned,
For a child who wrote using their left-hand.
Many a teacher considered it bad.
What a time these poor little children had!
Made to write with their left-hand tied,
Hands were spanked until they cried.
But worse than this, in a darker time,
Some burned at the stake for their left-hand crime.
So glad for the spanking, not having to burn,
Left-handed students tried hard to learn.
Then in high school, the desks were new.
Left-handed students had to write askew.
And what about books, bound on the left side,
And ink from our paper where our hands would slide?
Our left-hand smeared with a permanent stain,
And right-handed scissors, what a pain!
Science has said we’re in our ‘right’ mind.
But many others don’t support this find.
The number of ‘lefties’ is one-in-ten,
Well known for the funny way we hold our pen.
Some famous people bear left-handed traits.
McCartney, and Oprah, and even Bill Gates!
Left-handed people are no different than you,
There are just some things we’ve adapted to.
This little poem isn’t meant to be grand,
Just thoughts only we ‘lefties’ understand.

At least left-handers are in their right minds. LOL.
Very creative!
