My hands are very important to me. I do practically everything using my hands, so if I was to lose them I would probably go crazy.
This article is a challenge as part of GBE2 (Great Blogging Experience 2) which is to write an article about your Hand in exactly 100 words. The little ditty below is exactly that – 100 words. I hope you enjoy it.
What would I do without my hands
If I fell over how would I land
No fighting back if things came to blows
No brushing my teeth or picking my nose
So many things are just part of my life
Like being able to hug my wife
I don’t know how those who lose them survive
Without my hands I would not feel alive
So here’s to my hands, my fingers and thumbs
And the joy of being able to wipe my own bum
Without any hands don’t know what I would do
No more rhymes to write – boo hoo!
LOLOLOLOLOLOL you got me with “wipe my own bum” must be the medical in me…hehe MUAH!
Yes indeed. We must learn to appreciate the little, if not the very mundane, things we do with our hands every day (not that I pick my nose EVERY day Tony)!
Well done.
*giggle !!! OMG…LOVEd this !!
This really made my first day back to work after the holiday great. Super cute and funny poem.
This is so great! Loved it
Not being able to pet or play with my dogs the way I do, would be very depressing.
*Chuckle* Now that was giggleworthy, but also true. Without our hands we’d at least struggle to write and that would suck in extremis!
LOL giggles galore
TOO funny! Loved this one. :O)
Tony–this is great!! I laughed because it was cute and funny but at the same time you really did write about your hand!! KUDOS!! Cheers, Jenn
LOL. That’s cute! =D

LOL, love the part about being able to wipe your own bum. A person really takes their hands for granted until they lose the use of one. I remember how my dad struggled after he had a stroke. He lost use of the whole right side of his body. It was a tragic eye opener for him that sadly ended in his death with a second stroke that took him. This was a completely wonderful post that I enjoyed so much filled with so much truth!!

LOL I love the poem! Being a pianist, I would sorely miss mine!
I love my hands, too! And I love your poem! My hands are working hands!
That is was awesome! I loved this!
I’m glad your hands are working, though I could have bypassed the part about you picking your nose
Ah but it helped the words flow and I felt I needed to inject my typical sense of humor into it
