Thumb's Down

My thumb’s been sore for more than two weeks. Why

I am not sure but it’s sure come to be

A stumbling block, fumbling whenever I

Use hands, mumbling, grumbling in agony

This sum total of thumping misery

Should be a rule of thumb, a digital

Denominator of numbness. Come, see

How glum I am without my thumb. It’s all

Just like Tom Thumb’s blues, losing it. Hassle

Is endless, fingers friendless, thundery sky

I wonder as I wander, somebody

Crawl underneath this rumbling tumbril

Pull me undone, unbecoming to die

Not done with strumming strings and swinging free

Thumb thort of thtrain, I think....

◄ Sunny Saturday

Did you see...? ►

Where would we be without our trusty thumbs? Stranded on hard shoulders for one - i enjoyed this one. Thumb for thought.

This reminds me of when i bang my funny bone.
Funny for others but not me.
Aw, i'm sorry. Couldn't resist.
Great stuff, Janet.
