The Wrong Finger
(This is a fictional poem)
I've been beaten up over twenty times when I tried to hitch rides.
I always used the wrong finger and the people had my hide.
I accidentally used my middle finger instead of my thumb.
I've been beaten senseless many times because I'm so dumb.
People tell me that I should be able to tell the two fingers apart.
I dropped out of school in Kindergarten, maybe that's why I'm not smart.
When I got the crap beat out of me yesterday, it made me hurl.
It was very embarrassing to be beaten up by a six year old girl.
When I told my mom about this, she let out a great big chuckle.
Those people kicked my ___ but at least I did bruise their knuckles.
