In Defense of the Toothpick

Examining a toothpick was
     an action wonderful for you,
     but useless was your one-time view;
a thoughtless dunce what you did does.

A wimp complains of little pain;
     a fool gropes all with fingers rash
     (as when hot oil somewhere does splash,
and careless hands on it are lain).

A heart of steel earns dreadful wage:
     You crushed that toothpick to its end.
     A patient soul it would not mend,
but also would not deal such rage.

Who would that toothpicks all be peeled?
     Most people handle them with care.
     Since proper use prevents the tear,
beware of how much force you wield.

With trying toothpicks, doubts will wane,
     and narrow-mindedness will, too.
     And why? Convenience for you,
but as for us, financial gain.
