A blind man crossed the street
only to be greeted
by a man with a head of heat
and his wife who was quite petite.
The blind man's cane was in the way
and the other man said "hey!
Watch where you're going if you please may,
for you're disturbing us in our vacation stay!"
The blind man was not pleased
by this rude remark,
yet apologized for his blunder
and resumed his embark.
But the other man just
simply wouldn't give;
he grabbed the blind person
and did anything but forgive.
"Listen here you,"
said the hot headed man,
"You should change the hue
of your words if you can.
I don't like your kind
and I don't like your plan;
your plan to take
as much money as you can!"
"Just what do you mean?"
the blind man trembled,
"I think you're the most
insane man I've seen!"
"Now dear,"
the wife said as she carefully stepped in,
"let's calm down
and go back to our inn."
"Dear,
this argument is for you to stay out;
not interfering
is something we talked about."
The blind man backed off
in fear,
but the angry man followed
and yelled "You, look here!
Stealing my tax money,
you think this is funny?
I'll crush you like a bunny!
Your life won't be so sunny."
"Your tax money?
You think I'm stealing?
I find your lack of understanding
quite unappealing."
"Lack of understanding?
What understanding do I lack?"
"You don't know what It's like
to live a life out of whack."
"Oh I see,
so you're the victim here,
and I should pay you,
or you might disappear."
"Stop this sarcasm,
I've had enough.
What makes you think
that you have it rough?"
"I earned my money!
I use my skill to work!
I'm a seafood deliveryman
for my company in Kirk!"
"Well good for you then,
living the American dream.
But I just can't do that,
for my eyes have no bloodstream!
Can't you spare me,
for my life has value too!
I shouldn't shrivel and die
for not being as able as you!"
"I'll take no exceptions.
I've made up my mind.
I think you are no help to us
and you might as well die."
"You know what I think?
You're as blind as I!
You have no idea what it's like
to have simply no eyes!"
The blind man was
quite content with his statement;
what he did not foresee
was the hard punch the man sent.
The blind man started
to crack his knuckles
and he punched, with no aim;
at his stupidity, the other man chuckled.
"Dear, dear,
let's not get too wild,"
pleaded the wife,
in a voice quite mild.
"Dear what did I tell you?
Please stay out,
unless you'd punch this man with me,
which I quite doubt."
In the end, three blind people stood.
One could not see things,
one could not see others' feelings,
and the last could not see anything that conflicted her king.
