Sore Thumb
Can you spare me a thumb
mine has gone by the wayside.
I stuck it in a cherry pie
but the pain didn’t go away.
I thought to cut it off
but tried a bit of whiskey instead.
It just put me to shame
my thumb still hurts and it’s really very red.
Arthritis, tendonitis
carpal tunnel it does flame.
Can you spare me a new thumb
I only have myself to blame.

Thank you adagio. Lol, I don't know how to play pickleball, though it doesn't look that hard to learn.

Sounds like something from Shakespeare. "To pickle or paddle. Oh dear! It could have been a dill."

I have stuck my thumb into somethings that really hurt... I suppose we all have. :)
I really like how you captured the hurt and frustration so well and seeking relief as well.
