Gloves and Mittens

GLOVES and MITTENS 


            Boxers love mittens
             to hit always, not seldom
             as paws of kitten .
            Only thumb enjoys freedom
            to move or grip at random.

            Rest fingers are stuck
             to act as a joint mass.
             Hand thinks a bad luck.
             Mittens won’t suit for each class,
             but just for boxing purpose.

            Of what use are gloves
             to fingers that understand
             mittens to observe
             only thumb- movement: That’s Grand !
             Other fingers in one band.
