Dang it, That Hurt!

Have you ever wondered

 about your own thumb?

How it’s fat and ugly

and offensive to some.

It makes gloves look funny

and won’t fit in your nose.

Wy it’s just plain silly

as most fingers go.

Now some say it’s big

so it’s easy to find,

so babies can suck it

and stop all the crying.

Others say it’s made

for holding up high,

so people can see it

when you’re hitching a ride.

I’ve got another reason

it was made in this manner.

God made it easy

to hit with a hammer.

#@%* that hurt!
