Have you considered how much harder it is to be a thumb these days? There should be a union. Thumbs should stand together.
Thumbs
Where would we be without thumbs,
opposable making us different,
picking stuff as small as crumbs,
but the future, we were so ignorant.
Good luck, execute, pushing buttons,
as well as holding, we’re usual tasks,
but the job accumulations
in 2lst century would fill a dozen casks.
Advent of push button technology,
increased the daily load,
puts pressure on physiology,
puts thumbs on the fitness road.
Thumbs require protection,
they should join a union,
avoiding exploitation,
opportunity for voluntary abstention.
Smartphones the principle culprit,
choices, messages, addresses and names,
all the old thumbs new billet,
not to mention playing games.
So pray take a moment to ponder,
the demise of this doubty digit,
and take care not to squander,
the abilities to which you aggregate.
