Perhaps it may seem foolish to explain
The many clever uses for a cane. I do not find your ignorance appalling If you believe it’s just to keep from falling. And traveling on the subway it’s so neat That males and females offer you a seat. What OTHER things can canes be useful for? For thrusting though an elevator door Instead of holding open with your arm So that your arm will never come to harm. You’re on a bus and waiting for your stop. How can you pull the wire near the top? Glance at the ceiling. Take a measured look. Then use your cane just as you would a hook. If you behave as I have just suggested You’ll see the sign light up now: STOP REQUESTED. Essential in all weathers is my cane It keeps me safe from snow and wind and rain Avoiding slippery stuff that I might step on-- On dark nights I could use it as a weapon!
