Adept Versus Inept Poem by Hercolena Oliver

I’m adept at:
Reading at a speed,
Trying to please need,
Being compromising as a clover,
Being helpful to the extent of being a push over,
Being accommodating in eventful,
Being non-judgemental,
Wisdom mindness,
Kindness,
Listening
&Thinking.


I’m inept at:
Reasoning as others would I do,
Conforming to standards and expectations too,
Practicing discipline as some mothers,
Being cruel to others,
Defending myself you see,
Getting what is rightfully due to me,
Making a success of anything,
Finding employment for as much as a farthing,
Finding love and domestic bliss,
Forgetting unfairness, victimisation and controversial issues as a miss.
