Walking on your hands

You are Tom, Tom, the piper's child. You are the missing thumb. The reason that apes can't pole vault. Opposable and first
You search on Knuckle Mountain looking down under Blood Moon light, for something that you miss,
that will help you sing your song tonight. Dressed for cold weather in
your red riding hood coat and gloves.
But mittens can't play piano
violin or guitar… or pipes
Tom Tom's looking for adult fingers to make music like his forefathers and make the welkin' ring.
