Deformed Thumb
Deformed Thumb
Every time poetry when I want to write
Could never hold right hand real tight;
Thumb to me did look like a thimble;
Should this become my writing symbol?
Deformed thumb by God, He had made;
Writing received needs improvement grade
And He to me many times has said
You will have trouble buttering your bread.
Thumb like a thimble still is in my way
Then went to sleep after I did pray;
God hold my thumb so it won't tremble
And please remove this troubling thimble.
Thumb would grew large when it was warm
So God surgically fixed thumb's trying form;
Thumb with fingers great poems will write
Now that I can hold my hand real tight.
