Finger Exercise Co.

The men of the Finger Exercise Company,
packaging maniacs that look so funny,
tighten the bottle caps with all their might
so whoever tries to open them gives it a fight.
A one and a two and a three and a four;
twist and turn until the fingers get sore.
 
Opening up the bottles is not for the weak;
even the strongest with a he-man physique.
With a huff and a puff and a tough fist twist,
they give it a go without breaking their wrist.
 
Or opening packages sealed in metal plastic,
you bang it against the wall or give it a kick.
If not successful, get out a buzz-saw
and saw away until the hours of evenfall.
 
For those who cannot open up the bottles,
even while twisting with wide open throttles,
or sawing through metal plastic covers,
you’re in line with all the others.
The Finger Exercise Company did its job;
toughening up the fingers from the fingers squad.

I had a tough time trying to open my pill bottle the other day. After I got it open, the pills fell out on the floor. What a mess.
