Left Hander's Lament

 

Being left-handed,

I’m out in the cold.

A southpaw – and sinister –

So I’ve been told.


A camera, tape measure,

Light-switch or phone

All function best for

Right-handers alone.


Right-handed scissors,

Corkscrews or pliers

Should never be used by

Left-handed outliers.


Violins (by left-handers)

Rarely are played.

Accordions for lefties

Have never been made.


Ink stains on my left hand

Are a pen-writer’s blight

They’d vanish for good

If my left hand wrote right!
