A Helping Hand

There are some jars

That just defy opening.

I can use all my strength

And they won't budge.

 

Tried running them under

Hot water and tapping them,

Yet nothing seems to work

Until another tries his hand.

 

Sure as shooting it pops open

And I feel like a tired old man.

Well I guess it always proves

In life, we do need a helping hand.

With me, it was always a weak skinny woman. Darn it, if that wasn't embarrassing!
