GIVE ME A HAND!
Elvis Presley sang about a 'Wooden Heart'
But he never mentioned any other part!
Carried to its logical conclusion
Maybe other body parts deserved inclusion!
Entirely wooden bodies, not just hearts!
How simple, then, would be 'replacement parts.'!
The surgeon, with a nut, a bolt, a screw
Could make a body quite as good as new!
And everyone around would understand
When the surgeon said to staff 'Give me a hand.'

Clever and the rhyming
was easy and nice
And a good sandpapering now and again!
I don't like people with a wooden face..!!!! Any other material is okay.
Wooden it be great!
(Except for the dry rot of course. Oh and the termites. And the warping - Still, I have those three anyway)
Great fun!
Very clever, but 'wood' Elvis have sung about that too???

Great fun, indeed, Brenda!
lol. and termites would be our greatest foe. smiles. fun magpie!
Gotta love this one, a fun prose indeed. However, I think we would have far more problems, "wooden" you think. Sorry to repeat that, but I couldn't and wooden't resist.
Clever and fun..didn't Giapetto do this sort of thing??
I really like the idea of just being able to bolt on a new arm or a hip.
And here's a hand for Brenda!!! (Clapping loudly)
Excellent!! :))
Replacement parts is a good idea....
I thinking if that would be a lateral move... -J
Clever one! Thanks for the smiles.
Very very cute! Termites, dry rot, and the dullness that goes with wooden things unpolished. I liked this a lot!
Enjoyed this a great deal Brenda, thank you for sharing…
