Irony
by Joanne Faries - continuing the Gamekeeper Thumb theme - what the heck - a tribute poem
loose
ligament
annoyance
pain on
pressure
this bonnie
lass
auld sod in
her blood
diagnosed
with gamekeeper’s thumb
winces at thought of wrenched rabbit neck
far from a
ski slope
any
athletic endeavor
instead
splinted left thumb
testament to
folly
leaves
doctor perplexed
far from
Scotland hunting grounds
