NAMING THE FINGERS[A]
BY LAURA E. RICHARDS
This is little Tommy Thumb, Round and smooth as any plum. This is busy Peter Pointer: Surely he’s a double-jointer. This is mighty Toby Tall, He’s the biggest one of all. This is dainty Reuben Ring: He’s too fine for anything. And this little wee one, maybe, Is the pretty Finger-baby.
All the five we’ve counted now, Busy fingers in a row. Every finger knows the way How to work and how to play; Yet together work they best, Each one helping all the rest.
