There's No Benefit In Missing Sight

 

There Is No Benefit In Missing Sight

(Being For The Benefit Of Mr Kite)

 There is no benefit of missing sight

I won’t see a thing tonight on television

It doesn’t matter who is there

I will be unaware with no vision

Stay inside because I can’t see where I'm going

Save on electricity because I don’t need the lights on

With cane and dog I will challenge the world!

 

I didn’t celebrate my lost sight

Old age finally claimed the light, I was eighty-eight

I can still dance and sing

If you want me just give a ring, don’t have to wait

Though I’m blind I’m not shy of the public

I rely on them so I need trust

And of course, I have to pause, going through doors

 

Dinner begins at four o’clock

Though I’m blind I can still use a wok without a light

And I will gladly demonstrate

How that I can bake a cake without my sight

Having been some days in preparation

A splendid meal is guaranteed for all

And tonight my sight is topping the bill
