Fun: Left Hand Blues

Well, my left sided hand just isn’t my fave, 
I don’t let it do anything,
If there’s ever a contest of “Who is the best?”, 
My right is the one that will win,

It can’t button, can’t write, can’t hold a cold beer, 
Can’t handle a racquet or ball, 
It can’t do little tasks in day to day life, 
No matter how big or how small,

But my right hand it can, it holds a place in my heart, 
My right is right by my side,
My right hand has always helped me along, 
Ever since I was the littlest child,

As a matter of fact, I’ve a wonderful plan, 
A plan I might start later today,
I’ll go on a holiday, just my right hand and me, 
To a beautiful place far away.

:) Enjoy time away, with your right hand. I am right handed too, so I can understand how you feel. Perhaps I need to ask my left hand to join me. In different things I do in a day. Your thoughts bring a smile. :) Brandy

Hello Lewis Ravnes,If my right hand is broken I can still use my left hand.I have been like this all my life. Driving a car I can not do. Have a nice day my friend.

I'm envious of ambidextrous people, my left hand is useless... apart from maybe driving a car which I guess is kind of important. Thanks for your thoughts
