Arm Candy!

My thoughts today both come and go

With just one hand that works, life's slow.

Most things I manage at a pinch;

Opening jars are now a cinch.

 

Weight-bearing actions? Still taboo

One-handed hair wash? I need two.

But at least when it stays fine

I can stroll in warm sunshine.

 

In the rush-hour – a real treat

On bus or tram, I get a seat!

Moreover, neighbours stop and chat

Or pick up my wind-blown hat ...

 

Despite the rain I’m brolly-free

I need a hand to hold on – see!

Though my awkwardness can still annoy

Kindly strangers can spark  joy!
