I'm All Thumbs

In the spirit of today's holiday - "What If Cats and Dogs Had Opposable Thumbs Day" - I offer this:

Today is the day that we ponder a puzzle

That’s heard throughout mansions and slums

What would happen if all of our doggies and kitties

Were born with opposable thumbs?

Would kittens be knittin’ instead of unwindin’

The yarn from your neatly wrapped ball?

Perhaps they’d parade in new fashions from Paris

With zippers and snaps, big and small?

And our puppies, would they use a fork or some chopsticks

While searching for scraps round our feet

Or they might find a method of holding their leashes

While walking themselves down the street

But the one thing about this that really concerns me

Is this - what if they drew a line

Or painted a picture or sketched a nice scene

And their art turns out better than mine!
