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.
