Oh dear, by Gizmo

Oh dear! Oh dear! There must be something wrong!
For this string around my finger has been there too long.
My finger has turned purple and yet I can't remember,
So I'll tie another string, and I won't forgot to take this one off.

It mystifies me though,
How I've managed to go,
And get five strings on my fingers.
Hmmm, maybe another string might help me remember...
