What lies under your finger?  

      Well, reach down and feel.
Oh, it's round and it's soft,

      Like a fruit's outer peel.

This is slippery and slimy.

     And it's long and it squirms.
So if it's all of those things,

     It could well be a worm.

​

What lies under your finger?  

      Is it large or quite small?
Is it round, do you think,

     And the shape of a ball?

It may well be quite soft

     And the shape of a pear.
No it's none of these things

     For it's hard and it's square.

​

Is it hot or perhaps cold?

    Is it squishy, or sticky?
No, it's soft and it's silky.  

     Oh this one's quite tricky.

I think that it's curly

   But I'll feel it with care
For I think that I'm touching

     Hmm - - somebody's hair!

​

Is it wet?  No, it's dry

     And as soft as a feather.
Is it hard; is it hairy - -

     Or perhaps feels like leather?

 

Does it cause you to itch then?  

     Does its sharpness cause pain?
What you feel with your finger

     Transmits to your brain.
