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.
