Thumb Struck - Dk

Oh, the pain of getting a thumb struck Is not overshadowed by feeling dumbstruck When a car door is slammed on a finger There is no logical reason to linger Taking a pain pill as soon as possible In this case is perfectly permissible Soaking in ice is always helpful, too But I don’t know what else to do! written August 12, 2021 especially for "Dumbstruck" Poetry Contest sponsored by Charles Messina

so many ways to be dumbstruck but painful is the worst. Oh my , what will I do for THIS contest? People are coming up with such good ideas. I sure enjoyed yours, Milt.

It hasn't happened to me in a long time, Tom, but I can assure you the air would turn blue! Thanks for stopping by.
