Little jobs are tricky with one arm. 
Big jobs I can manage 
I can do the washing, 
even peg things out 
I grab with an open jaw of peg 
transfer to the line 
I find fun in challenge 
but I can not pair socks together. 
I have years of accumulated socks, 
a lot of them have lost their partners, 
languishing sadly in a drawer 
I have some cuddly socks 
with L and R embroidered on them 
they make me smile 
When I got around to washing my socks I
 found the reason for my fall – 
I was wearing two Left feet!
