You never told me you could write
with both your left hand and your right,
are there any other talents you can do?
Can you juggle more than three,
bounce a baby on each knee
while reading them a fairy tale or two?
Can you play the bongo drums
while singing in strange tongues,
making sense to no-one but your tapping feet?
Can you pat your shiny hair,
rub your tummy and declare:
that I'm the nicest girl your ever gonna meet!
Can you whistle while you stand,
a frying pan in either hand
and flip the food from one side to the other?
Can you pop two corks of wine
and with a smile dark and benign,
keep topping up that tall glass of my mother's?
Can you throw two darts at once
and make my brother look a dunce,
as your bullseye finishes what he ain't started?
Can you hoover as you groove
and congenially remove
all those webs from which the spiders have departed?
What the hang do you mean 'no'...?
But you're a clever so and so!!
Surely YOU can manage that bit extra fuss.....?
Well, alright, 'suppose it's better,
to get TWO scented love letters
'ain't there more to being so ambidextrous........?!

Sly and witty; very well done.
Your poetry never fails to delight me!
Poetry and humor are favorite delights here. Your facility in both at once qualifies as ambidexterity.
