Hands

I'M RUNNING OUT OF HANDS

I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT
THAT IF I LOST MY LEFT HAND
MY RIGHT HAND WOULD BE LEFT

THERE’S A JOKE THERE
BUT I CAN'T PUT MY FINGER ON IT

I HATE TO PALM A BAD JOKE OFF ON YOU
I'D LIKE TO WRIST HUMOR
OUT OF THIS SITUATION
THUMB-THING FUNNY

IF THE WHOLE WORLD’S IN HIS HANDS
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO CLAP WITH

THE STROKE TOOK MY RIGHT HAND
THEN MY LEFT HAND
WHICH WAS NOW MY RIGHT HAND
DEVELOPED TENDINITIS
FROM TOO MUCH WORK

SO NOW I WEAR A BRACE
WHAT A DISGRACE
SOON I'LL BE EATING LIKE A CAT
IMAGINE THAT

I'M ALREADY CUTE AND CUDDLY
