Thumb Suckers United

Students still suckling at their thumbs
Portable teets
Young men and women stuck
At some infantile stage
Passing through high school corridors,
Sitting in classroom
Thumb thrust into mouth
Drawing on their big digit
For support and security never received.
I try not to be too judgmental,
But feel compelled to say,
"Can I have some of that?"
Or "If you are going to
Suck on that in class,
You'll have to share it."
Not trying to shame them,
Just make them aware.
