The Real Me and The Truth About Reading by Tina McInerney

I hope you’re amused by the words that you read. It’s a story of people! A whole Different Breed Where do they live?

Why, they live all around us! They drive cars and airplanes and ride on the bus

Some build space ships, they’re movie stars too, Presidents, teachers, what can we do? Lawyers, Princesses and folks with degrees, all living amongst us. Just wait, you’ll see

A long time ago when I went to school I was a strange little fish in an unhappy pool! I tried to swim like the rest of the sea but I knew deep inside this just wasn’t me If we still lived in caves and drew on the walls I would understand and be the best of them all

Off to the doctor shop to test out my brain You know I thought they thought I was insane My IQ is broken It’s running too high But I am not hyperactive nor am I shy ’m clever and funny and utterly bold ........ I could have been rich. If I just fit the mould

Now there are two more amongst us, as you can see All just as weird and wonderful as their Mom Me We have heaps of trouble telling the time Like numbers and letters they’re out of our mind Waiting to flip them and flop them and then turn them around and do it again

Spelling - don’t go there how can we be wrong? When we know all the music to every new song! All our forwards are backwards So that reading’s a chore But we can tell incredible stories for hours or more
Now you don’t have pictures But we still have text It’s what makes us look like we are complete nervous wrecks!

Take the word bad ..... what do you see? That is of course if you have trouble reading like me .... I learn with my eyes And it’s not a surprise to find out intelligence is not compromised Yet the part of our minds that helps us to read Is traveling around at incredible speed

But the cool thing about all these strange goings-on Is it makes us creative and different and strong For now and forever I hope you agree that the truth about reading is just different for me!
