I'm A-D-D---

John M Young 1982 (Pennsylvania)

Ode


I'm  A - D - D,     and  I - C - T

if you can't spell,     don't bother me

if you can't Smell,     then why'd you sneeze?

I'm Love and War,     You're boring Peace

so Attacks on you,     are Attacks on me

it's not my fault,     or can't you See?

no Smell? no Sight?     Let's get this right...

can you Hear these words?

are your ears too tight?

how's your Taste?     and your Touch?

any Sense that I'm too much?

Should I slow?     just let me Go

tell me something... I don't know
