Finding Self Poem by M.J. Lemon

When we overlook the disability and ask a person to do something near impossible, I think we are indirectly pumping a little positivity into his spirit that will push him into doing it! More than humour, I see this three liner as a psychological boost to the handicapped! I don't know how far I am right in my interpretation.....

It is my pleasure to read this poem time and again.

well, sooooooooooooo...... what's the problem? ! four of them could do it handily! and they could use their feet if need be, in which case they could do it feetily. bri :)

I read the comments below and now I feel a bit dumb. I see the humor of this picture of one-armed kung fu stars lifting a sofa for the narrator.. But I was seeing a wistfulness, a sadness, in this piece. I pictured an aging man wanting to move a sofa saying these 3 lines in a very sarcastic bitter tone of voice. I know readers will find different things in a poem because of their background, experiences, age, gender, etc. But just how far off was I on this? 10+++++++++++++++++++ for originality and memorability and intelligence

That was a funny image and reading Soul's comment made me laugh harder at the vision of being flung with the sofa. Sober thoughts after reading your topics of the poem. Sometimes we may ask the impossible to witness the struggle.
