Neurodivergent

I’m neurodivergent,

Ask a surgeon!

They’ll have no idea why!

They’ll split open my skull,

And out will fly,

A moth, I think you’ll find.

Bretheren before me,

Angels in the sky,

Promote the surgeon,

To a sergent,

Don’t bloody ask me why!

I come out with autism,

When mother pinned me to the sky,

Why’d that ceiling call me “moth”,

Er, what?

A butterfly!
