Capable Hands, by Jasper

Oh Capable Hands of mine,
I have one, I have two.
Oh Capable Hands of mine,
Tell me, what shall I do?

Russ has run for the seaside,
With no children in tow.
Russ has fled with his bride,
What they will do, we know.

R & R is in the plan.
It is much deserved, for sure.
R & R makes a happy man.
For any ill, it will cure.

Oh Capable Hands of mine,
I have one, I have two.
Oh Capable Hands of mine,
Tell me, what shall I do?

Left alone, I must write,
For words and phrases, I look.
Left alone, I must write,
Sitting in my quiet nook.

I wonder what I could say,
To seem witty or clever.
I wonder if I could play
As a wordsmith forever.

Oh Capable Hands of mine,
I have one, I have two.
Oh Capable Hands of mine,
Tell me, what shall I do?

Thoughts stream from my fingertips,
As I begin to write.
Thoughts climb from my mouth and lips,
I may finish tonight!

I can say, the end is nigh,
For I am nearly through.
I can say, the end is nigh,
What else is there to do?

Oh Capable Hands of mine,
What a fantastic feat!
Oh Capable Hands of mine,
The poem is complete!
