Great Uncle Kenneth

from the ABC set Glimpses - Practice work from 2005

He has a hump on his back and is missing a thumb.
Trapped in the sawmill when he was young.

He stoops over the table
Drinks tea from a tiny cup
Dwarfed in his coarse fingers.

I want to ask about his hump
But I’ve already asked about the thumb.

I like this, but can't quite work out why!

I can, it's very funny.
