A Stitch In Time

I was inspired to write this little ditty when I took off my shoe last night and saw my big toe sticking out from a hole in my sock:














A Stitch In Time

A stitch in time saves nine, is what Grandmother always said.
I didn't heed her advise, there is a hole in my sock, instead.

Now, I'll look for a needle and thread I need to match,
A darning egg would be nice, so the problem I can patch.

I could throw out this holey sock and toss it in the trash,
But it is kinder for the planet to fix rather than to smash.

My toe is sticking out of my sock, what am I supposed to do?
I could cover it up, conveniently, and hide it with my shoe.

Ah ha! I found a needle and a thimble and now the thread.
I will fix the hole in my sock, and do as Grandmother said.



Dear Readers,


This is about the silliest thing I have ever written, but don't we need a chuckle or two when the world is so crazy? AND.... it was absolutely true, as you can see from the photo. I used to have a darning egg.... hmmmm.....I wonder what the heck I did with it?


Love,
Lynn
