Solidarity In Fingers

Inside woolly mittens, they kept each other warm From frigid, chilly temperatures amidst a winter storm They huddled up together, these friendly fingers four Until they heard, "Hey! I am not here to ignore!" It was their stubby next door neighbor, Thumb. "You're warm together in a mitten but I'm going numb! It really isn't fair and what's worse I cannot see. I'm bustin' outta this mitten, I'm going to be free!" So this stout, angry thumb worked until he poked a hole Looking out into the snow as cold began to take it's toll Just as he began to regret and gain some clarity Four friendly little fingers poked holes in solidarity What's a bit of frostbite for four loyal digits smitten In a fingerless glove that used to be a woolly mitten January 19, 2023
