Mr T Fumblefingers

Updated: Jul 4

Mr T Fumblefingers

 

I had a light bulb moment

It was a smashing time

Fumblefingers was back

Parkinson’s partner in crime

 

How many men will it take is?

Not the right question

How many bulbs will I break is?

Another suggestion

 

Surprise he yells

To announce presence the fiendish fumbler

Smash another glass falls

Maybe it was a tumbler

 

Formally known as

Mr T Fumblefinger

Introduces shakes hands

And then sometimes linger

 

He is Tremble by name

He trembles by nature

He spills your cup of T

Sooner or later

 

Broken crockery

He leaves on your plate

Cup half full or

Half empty? Is your fate.

 

But it is upto you

It is your choice

He can but listen

If you use your voice

 

Sweep up the damage

He leaves in his wake

You are the one thing

He cannot break

 

Tremble Fumblefingers

Is just a clown

Your beautiful smile inside

Worth more than his frown.

His beautiful smile is

a frown upside down
