My Strange Fingers!
My right-hand gets
support of all fingers.
Though they work together,
very often they act like strangers!
The middle finger
finds itself very significant
as it is the tallest one
and finds others less important.
The index finger
finds itself very apt
as it indicates everything
very carefully and rapt.
The ring finger
it boasts for its excellency
as it performs vital role
during wedding ceremony.
The Thumb
though short and plump,
keeps itself always
very cheerful and up.
The little one
Which seems very humble.
once it was hurt
and my whole hand became unstable.
