Thumb Speak
Thumbs hold first-string
position in the hand.
They send messages
everyone understands.
Thumbs up say,
“You did it.
Go get it!”
Thumbs down say,
“You blew it.
You’ll regret it!”
Thumbs out signal,
“Get ‘outta’ here,
please disappear.”
Thumbs forward coax,
“Come here,
gimme a hug.”
Arms form columns,
but thumbs speak volumes.
Your middle finger
speaks its own language.
