Not practical

Always taunted for
not being practical
I repair appliances
by telling the repairman
where the fault lies.
This morning
I mistook
in the market
gourd for
cucumber
only because
the paper slip was
not written legibly.
It's quite
practical not to read
what you once
wrote
famously.
Poet it is whose
finger moves
on having written...
