I lounge on my grass;
I relax and I grin
until Hayley (my sister)
says “time to go in.”
When Hayley calls humans
soon one of them comes,
and opens the door
with those useful things — thumbs!
Those thumbs are a clever idea;
can’t be beat
for scratching our ears
and feeding us treats.
At breakfast and dinner
Human thumbs grant our wishes
by helping those tall folks
deliver our dishes.
Once in a while
when I can’t reach my toy
hands with thumbs reach it out
and I tell them “good boy!”
Humans are slow
and likely to blunder;
But one thing’s for sure:
those thumbs are a wonder
