Hands And Fingers
Palms of hands
Tips of fingers
Takers and givers
Touchers and squeezers
Beckoners…pointers
Caressers and holders
Massagers…anointers
Pleasurers and pleasers
Punchers and pokers
Wavers And patters
Signers of letters
Scriveners of prose
Holders…lifters
Sea-side sand sifters
Flails…cradles
Scratchers of nose
Bowls and ladles
Shovels and buckets
Our Hands and fingers…
Are all of those
Withered…chubby
Always within reach
Long, short or grubby
And we have not one, but two
Miraculous, duplicitous
Grasping…solicitous
Sensuous tools
Dangerous weapons too
Players of instrument …Writers of tune….
and lets not forget…
they help keep our arms…
From ending too soon
