The Fishing is Free

Authors:

Field, Jane

Source:

(1994)

The fishing is free with your disability
You don't need a licence like the rest.
Movies are half the price, well isn't that nice?
And the parking spots are nothing but the best.

Well, don't you wish that you were disabled?
Disabled is the better way to be.
With crutches, canes and braces, wheelchairs to run races
Don't you wish that you were just like me?

The deaf have got sign language,
the blind have got their dogs
Their loyal trusted guides are at their sides.
Well everyone has their vices, but we've got our devices
Oh, don't you envy us our privileged lives?

Well, don't you wish that you were disabled?
Disabled is the better way to be.
When we go out it's really neat,
we're always sure we'll get a seat
Oh, don't you wish that you were just like me?

No one knows just what to call us
which label should befall us,
And they're some dandy terms from which to choose.
My favourite's "wheel-chair bound" cause it has a
bondage sound.
Oh it's fun to guess what term they're going to use.

Well, don't you wish that you were disabled?
Disabled is the better way to be.
There are special entrances in stores, they let us in
through the back doors
Oh, don't you wish that you were just like me?
Disabled is the better way to be.
With all these benefits and perks that's
how the system works
Oh, don't you wish that you were just like me?

Oh the fishing is free with your disability
You don't need a licence like the rest.
Movies are half the price, well isn't that nice?
And the parking spots are nothing but the best!

Infomöte & berättarverkstad

Location: Storforsplan 36, vaning 10, 123 47 Farsta, Sverige
Välkommen på informationsmöte om vårt nya projekt Disabled Refugees' Stories! 

Vi kommer att förklara vad projektet handlar om och bjuda in till kommande berättarverkstäder. Vi kommer att göra en skrivövning. Ta gärna med de verktyg du behöver för att skriva (t ex dator eller mobil). Papper och penna finns att låna. Det går också att läsa in muntligt på t ex mobil. Det går bra att arbeta på sitt eget språk (ingen uppläsning kommer ske). Presentationsrundan i början görs med ditt namn och den senaste boken du läst. 

Det går bra att komma från kl 16 och stanna till 18.30. 

Anmäl dig till rahel@independentliving.org senast 20 mars! Samma mailadress gäller om du vill ha resa till Stockholm betald - kontakta oss då senast 15 mars! 

Välkommen!
