My hand has five fingers
Right around the average
Depending on whether you think the thumb is a finger
I think it is
Maybe I should say my hand has five digits
But that sounds so impersonal
You don’t put a wedding ring on a digit
Unless you are marrying a robot
Which I hear will be possible sooner than we think
But they’ll probably call the robot’s digits ‘fingers’
To make it seem more human
