Investigating the Absurd (The Missing Finger)

 


PLOS ONE: Patient-Specific Prosthetic Fingers by Remote Collaboration–A Case  Study

 

The fourth finger on his left hand was missing,

Where it was he could not tell

And the more he looked at the space where it was

The more his countenance fell.

 

It is mighty baffling to me

Since it was missing on his left hand,

And why he was so sad I am baffled the more,

It must have been carrying a wedding band.

 

And there really could not be a space

If the fourth finger on his hand was missing

So, either the space was there or the finger was

But if both, someone was guessing.

 

I will leave you to sort out this one

And I will move on to another,

If this has never happened to you

Then there is no need for you to bother.
