Next Christmas I am giving special awards
To some people who don't have a clue
What it's like to be living with CMT
Each day, the whole year through.

For starters, the Rest Room engineer,
(Brother! This guy is a peach,)
He has placed all the paper towel racks just a tad
Above and beyond my reach.

And then there's the great Curb-Cut planner--
Curb-cuts are great, my friend,
But you've made easy access one end of the block,
Why no cut at the other end?

To the guys who plan Handicap parking--
Some are smart, others don't know what for--
They paint spaces at the far end of the lot
Instead of up close to the door.

I could go on and on, but I'm ending my list
With the Do-Gooders brimming with cheer,
Who think if a person is in a wheelchair
He's an idiot or he can't hear.

I'm offering a gift with each award,
(I think that is only fair,)
I will let each one of these spend one day
In my battery scooter or chair.
