Hand

 

With four fingers 
and a thumb 
Agile, able 
and quite handsome 

The hand is nice 
to have around 
when no other 
tool is found 

It can grip 
it can hold 
it can pinch 
it can fold 

It can point 
it can wave 
it can carry 
it can shave 


It can open 
it can close 
it can even 
pick your nose 

It can grasp 
it can write 
it can make a fist, and fight 

The hand is made of supple skin 
containing many bones within. 
There is a wrist, and then a palm 
which can be moisturized with balm. 

If you really 
want to linger 
we can talk 
about the finger 
With these you can 
fasten a buckle, 
bending with each 
helpful knuckle. 

Then there are 
the fingertips 
good for opening 
potato chips 

Hands can build, 
chop and weld 
but they like best 
to be held.
