You can pretend to be Deaf impaired

You can pretend to be Deaf impaired
When you laugh with hearing’s unfunny jokes

You can pretend to be Deaf impaired
When you dance without the vibration

You can pretend to be Deaf impaired
When you can lip-read

You can pretend to be Deaf impaired
When you clap

You can pretend to be Deaf impaired
When you do not use facial expression

You can pretend to be Deaf impaired
When you buy a new car-stereo

You can pretend to be Deaf impaired
When you admire hearing teachers

You can pretend to be Deaf impaired
When you type ‘Hear, hear’

You can pretend to be Deaf impaired
When you watch TV without subtitles

You can pretend to be Deaf impaired
When you had excuses for not watching Deaf TV

You can pretend to be Deaf impaired
When you use idioms too many

You can pretend to be Deaf impaired
When you feel lost without batteries
