Last week my SLP and I discovered that I have real challenges with rhyming due to the aphasia. She asked me to channel my inner Dr. Seuss and this is I came up with. I hope you enjoy.....
APHASIA, it’s in my life
If it happens to you or your wife
Be prepared for some strife
Let me tell you what it‘s like
It’s not as easy as riding a bike
no, not as easy as a tyke
The words in my head are such a delight
But when I try to speak or write
What comes out is quite a sight
You have so much more to say
but nonsense words get in the way
But practice and words will stay
It’s ok, to not be ok sometime
You might have to relearn to rhyme
But everything soon will be just fine
It is really ok to be sad
or even at times be mad
with time you can be glad
You work hard and raise the bar
be proud of who you really are
Then, you will really be a star
