This is a cute poem, well-written, interesting with a nice steady flow. I loved the humor of it, although she's right, it would be pointless. Great job, good luck with your contest, thanks for the laugh.

You're welcome. And thank YOU for the fun review!
Comment from Chip Kuzborski
Very funny but touching commentary about not wallowing over your shortcomings, as there are others worse off than you. Evokes the old adage about life giving you lemons. Also speaks to finding love when not looking for it (no pun intended). Fun piece!

HAHAHAAH. Funny pun, Chip, intended or not.
Thank you for this wonderfully validating review. I appreciate it.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
LOL! That is a perfect match! I do love it when people who would be within their rights to have a moan, find the humour that everyone else would miss. This aunt of yours, if this is a true story, is a wonderful lady. Well done and good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xx

Comment from Dean Kuch
Hahahaha!
Ya know, Anonymous Poet, your Auntie's right, all their fights would be in vain, heh-heh.
I knew a couple once who practiced Vapirism. Their arguments were always in vein as well.
How you managed to make a contest entry about being blind funny is beyond my scope of reason. However, you've certainly done just that!
All the best to you in the voting booth.

Twisted and proud!
Comment from LisaMay
What a terrific write... a lovely touch of humour to counterbalance other bleaker entries. True love comes in all manner of combinations; this one does indeed have the makings of being a blinding success. I am speechless at your skill.

Comment from Mark D. R.
An amusing scenario the blind leading the deaf LOL
IMHO you will earn positive reviews and votes for your entry.
I actually witnessed a similar scene at work. The blind secretary had typed a note for the deaf person in the office. Without her guide dog, she walked less than 10 feet to hand the note to her colleague. While standing with her note in outstretched hands, his sight was blocked by the column pole between them. I asked her to move a few feet left or right. She then realized her mistake. She often navigated, without her guide dog, in a radius of 10-15 feet of her work space
Your story is very possible! Liked your rhyming
To nitpick a bit: methinks that 'glaucoma' need not be capitalized in your verse. Add a space after the dash so it reads "sign - I ...". "True Love" poet's choice for caps.

Thanks for the finding those nits; I always appreciate the reviewers who teach me and have my back.
That's a really funny vignette, too, with the blind secretary.
And thanks for the well-wishes in the contest.
