A Lipreader's Poem

You, who have good hearing
Are mystified, it's true
To watch a group of people
Try to lipread, as we do.

It's exciting, quiet enchanting
And a thrill amid some fears
As we slowly try to listen
With our eyes instead of ears.

At times it can be tricky
And often just plain fun
Success means lots of practice
Perfection's seldom won.

We share each other's troubles
And laugh at our mistakes
It takes a load of practice
And lots of give and takes.
