Blind or Deaf do accept

What's your preference

In all my long life
of seven decades
plus
I have learned
only a thing
or
maybe two

first is this
''only a blind man
can have sympathy
for a deaf man'''

Question
to all of you

Who is better
a blind one or deaf
I am both

fifty fifty
one plus half -eye
one half
the other half -ear
divided by two

How would you rate me
if I ask you to do

Geezer

an old phrase my mother used to say; when speaking of someone who was not able to see the truth.
It went: " He was blind in one eye and couldn't see out of the other and not being able to find his eyes, he stuck his fingers in his ears." I guess that as long as you can still recognize the truth, you aren't so bad off. Not much in the way of a story here, more like a rant against getting old. ~ Gee.
