My Opposable ThumbYou ask what does my thumb oppose?A set of fingers, I suppose.It’s likely that I’d let things slip,if I failed to get a grip.
If this digit was a critic,would it tend to be arthritic?If I took a strong position,would it rise in opposition?
And should I need to offer thanks,would it wag a stern phalanx?Take me to task by hitching lifts,instead of buying thank-you gifts?
Though there’s no reason why it oughtto be equipped with conscious thought,it’s still my opposable thumb –and I suspect it just plays dumb.
