I Spy

The journey was long
and the children bored;
so we played I spy
with my little eye.

Had to use the left orb
as the one on the right
would not react
due to a cataract.

My defective vision 
didn't affect the game;
I was unable to wink
but I could think.

A proverb once said
a one-eyed man is king
in the land of the blind,
so I didn't mind.

Neat little poem. Makes you value still having one working eye! Have you had it 'done' yet? Rhiannon

Thanks, Rhiannon. It makes one realise how important a clear, unclouded sight is.
I am on the waiting list.

A poem that makes you realize how important your eyes are, especially when reading and writing so much. I hope you get your cataract sorted out sooner rather than later, it must be so difficult trying to achieve your activities.

Wishing you good health Luigi.

I absolutely agree, Jenny. The eyes play an essential function in everyone's life for all sorts of activities.
I haven't been given a fixed date and hope it will be soon. Your concern is very much appreciated.

You should read Country of the Blind by HG Wells, an adventure a long short story. There's an eye opener for you &
