'Useless' can be a nasty word; it can make one feel just like a turd. <br />But, if you think about it, that's ABSURD. [It' just a word! ! ] …. 'Useless' <br />I suppose, at times, it's said in jest, or at a bothered mind's behest. <br />But you'd better never (it) believe, ‘cause if you do, you may be apt to grieve, <br />AND wish you‘d never ever been born, AND think of …..Mom and Dad with scorn. <br /> <br />You may be bald, deaf, or even toothless, <br />but NO ONE ever is …..COMPLETELY useless! <br />WELL ……NO, I'll NOT say …….some things that I 'could'. <br />They might hurt YOU and YOU. That'd be NO GOOD! <br />So keep deluding yourselves. Yes! YOU-be-RUTHLESS! <br />AND keep telling yourselves 'I'M NOT USELESS!
