Those Old Fans of My Youth

I like light poetry but rarely write any that's any good. It all comes out as bad Ogden Nash, but this poem is about as close to being light as I ever get. It got an honorable mention in a Dallas Poetry Community poetry contest. Enjoy! Those Old Fans of My Youth . . . and just as sure, all our female relatives--the oddest assortment of married and spinster aunts, grandmas and cousins twice removed--would faint at the sight of our fingerless hands.
