I ‘feel’ nothing
But I make some feel good
I have five jointed fingers
Created from wood
Malleable digits
That can be moved about
Hard, cold & polished
But lifeless, no doubt
I am a puppet
I dangle from string
I make children happy
I am a play thing
I live in a toybox
I come out now & then
Sometimes I am Brenda
And sometimes I’m Ben
