have you ever seen a lefty write? upside down or just for spite mirror image left is right lefties, you just gotta love em have you ever seen a lefty think? impulses through their right brains sink their left side brains are flying blind lefties, always in their right mind lefties, you just gotta love em they always seem so very smart but some of them are strange of heart Jack The Ripper, George Bush, Marilyn Monroe lefties all, from head to toe lefties, you just gotta love em it seems that all the men I've loved are members of the lefty club theres something special about a man who wields a pen in his left hand  |

Very witty-- guess i am a bit different-- I use a fork in my left hand when i use a knife--and i play billiards mostly left handed--otherwise I am alright ( all right..heh) There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

Very cute! I'm also a lefty, and I loved this one . I've never written upside-down, either, but sometimes I wish I could so that I wouldn't get ink all over the side of my hand. I'm going to have to print this one out and post it in my room and office. I enjoyed this one lots. Thanks, Lyra! ~What is cherished most is what must be the hardest fought for.~ |

Lyra, I'm a leftie sort of...does it count if you can write with both hands? Hey I'm left predominant. Good poem, and here's a saying for you....It's one of my favourites. If the right hand is controlled by the left side of the brain...only left handed people are in their right minds. Gotta love me! Keth Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Lyra - Guilty as charged - A lefty who writes upside down. For all you lefties who wish you could do that - lemme tell you, be careful what you wish for, as the ink dries slower than you may think. I have many long sleeved dress shirts that have ink spots on the left cuff, and the heel of my left hand gets lots of smudges, too! It's interesting that you pointed out the characteristic tendency of many lefties to be impulsive. Guilty on that, too. I guess a lot of us don't see very far down the road many times. As for ambidextrous traits.... well, guilty as charged (I think) because I can type with either had - heh. Did you know that ambidextrose means you can stir the sugar in your coffee with either hand? Thanks for the poem - it gives me hope and has shown me, through the many responses you've already received, that I am not alone in the Forums. |

Madame's guilt is absolved. Madame does not promote excessive sleeve lengths to interfere in the otherwise gentler tasks of handwriting. And her point is clear on brain impulses not impulsiveness kind sir, your accusations are but a fabrication of what is clearly written by her good left hand! We used to get flames, have an imaginary one on me "FLAME" for a 'left' point of view in this world of right-wing fanatics and con artists and left extremists |

Thanks for your replies Seymour, Peaches and JCP.... and remember....never to cross swords with a leftie. You'll always end up with the short end of the stick.......and with a sword, that could be very dangerous.  signature-->copyright2001 Lyra Nesius "poetry is life distilled" Gwendolyn Brooks [This message has been edited by Madame Chipmunk (12-28-2001 11:14 PM).] |

Thanks Jamie, I sometimes use my left hand to eat while I use the knife in my right hand also.....thats because the knife needs the dominant hand...and for some reason, I was taught to do that when I was growing up...its supposed to be more polite.....at least thats what my mother said. I don't play billiards, but I bat a softball and crochet with my left hand even though I am a righty. I think there are a lot of us with mixed handedness.  copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |

Martin, thanks for BOTH of your replies...and for coming to my defense about sleeve length.  Larry, thanks for replying.....I have always thought lefties were special...thats why I married TWO of them.... not at the same time, of course!  copyright2001 Lyra Nesius "poetry is life distilled" Gwendolyn Brooks [This message has been edited by Madame Chipmunk (12-28-2001 11:18 PM).] |

Keth, JCP and LongJohn...... How exciting it must be to be able to write with both hands.... I used to have a math teacher who wrote on the blackboard with both hands......at the same time! Can any of you do that?  copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |

Noah, thanks for replying, I once read that its good to try out your less dominant hand once in a while.....it keeps your brain working on its left dominant side. Not enough people do this....so, good for you!  copyright2001 Lyra Nesius |
