Come now Lemon-lime,
that ditty was hardly sublime,
it caused me to pout

and was lacking severely in rhyme.
And for awhile I just didn't know it,
If I triggered your gout
And caused you to pout,
It's because I am not a great poet (duh)
There once was a ghost from Nantucket
Who carried his stuff in a bucket
When asked "What is that?"
He winked, tipped his hat
And he said "This is that"...
And said nothing more,
That was that.

There once was a man from St Dumbs
Who typed with only his thumbs
His fingers were fine
And worked just like mine
But he only would type with his thumbs
Totally illegal.

Try Dr. Seuss and just adjust the wording.

Those are all good suggestions. I thought of using 'bums' but couldn't come up with anything that wasn't rude or crude.
hmmm, crude rhymes with rude... oh well, no matter.
I tried to work a little Dr Suess in at the end of one of those, but altering the meter is tricky and can be confusing.
By the way, if you think about it 'thumbs' could mean something other than phalanges.
Originally posted by @lemon-limehmmm, I should have split the third line into a 3rd and 4th line
Phalanges covered with flesh
Are fingers nevertheless,
Fingers aren't thumbs but thumbs are dead ringers
For short stubby odd looking fingers
