hmmm, this poem had to be edited slightly for language content, nor have i ever seen anything of this nature on this site, so here it goes

Went to the doc to get checked
he told me my ears was wrecked
"why?" he didn't know but i was near deaf
and in the next breath
recommended a hearing aid to me
how'd this come to be?
started racking my memory
thinking pondering perusing and musing
yet nothing came to me
and this was permanent like a project tenant
never to hear again properly
-maybe i'll hit Jackson Square,
buy me some gris gris
hopped in my ride, radio on
that's when things started to form
new ideas began to dawn
and i realized what was wrong like a concussion blow
i musta heard one of ya'll whacked flows on the
   radio

Not completly sure if I understood... What I'm guessing is that you're saying you lost ur hearing due to playing ur radio loud?  (Sorry, but I'm guessing here)  Other than that, I liked your poetry format.  Quite entertaining. ^_^

thanks guys, it actually has nothing to do with me being deaf or whatnot, it'sa more a statement against the same old, played rhymes on the radio and how they have a negative effect on people...clearer?
