Ah, the specialised “hand wave” by the late Queen Elizabeth II to avoid stress in any part of the hand or wrist.
I appreciate the different rhythms in the last two lines which do well to imitate the physical human action.

The specialised “hand wave” by late Queen Elizabeth II to avoid undue stress in any part of the hand or wrist.
I really like the different rhythms in the last two lines which do well to imitate the physical human action.
