Prehensile

Adjective

(said about an animal’s foot or tail etc.) able to grasp things

[from latin, prehendere = seize ]

If you prehensile the tinsel

then pin it on the donkey

Pin the tail on the donkey

Feel the motion of it’s wagging tail

as I spin you round

like an excited puppy

Feel the dizzying circles

while your vision is wiped by a cloth

and encouraging cheers surround

from your friends who watch you stumble

Prehensile the tail to the sheet

as you would life

Life that has a blind future

and a dizzying past
