Peter Salt

Peter began writing after reading Robert Louis Stevenson, Charles Dickens, and the Oxford Movement. Apropos of nothing, Peter believes he may be distantly related to Sir Anthony Hopkins!

The left-handers

We are at City Voices today,
What more can I say?
If you are like me
I know where you will be.
If you write with your left hand,
Sit on my right hand
In the left-handers corner
We lefties were born there!
Special gifts have we
As you shall see.
We number only three
If you are a leftie
Come sit with me.
Our minds are always open,
No clashing of our pens!
Right-handed they tried to make us
Oh with such useless fuss!
No right-hander can say
They made us write this way,
Left-handers have all fought to be
As God made them to be
But because of right-handers force
We still fight the left-handers cause
Left-handers must never be outlaws
To a right-handers law.
Natural left-handers can say,
Ambidextrous we must be
Because of force exerted on me.
But now we are four
Whose writing you will adore!
