Disturbing
Effects of Quilting Reported
She
learned to quilt on Monday,
Her stitches
all were very fine.
She forgot to thaw
out dinner,
So we went out to dine.
She
quilted miniatures on Tuesday,
She says
they are a must.
They really were quite
lovely,
But she forgot to dust.
On
Wednesday it was a sampler,
She says
stippling's fun.
What highlights!
What Shadows!
But the laundry wasn't
done.
Nine patches were on Thursday -
Green,
yellow, blue and red.
I guess she really
was engrossed;
She never made the bed.
It
was wall hangings on Friday,
In colors
she adores.
It never bothered her at
all,
That crumbs were on the floors.
I
found a maid on Saturday,
My week is
now complete.
My wife can quilt the
hours away;
The house will still be
neat.
Well, now it's only Sunday,
I
think I'm about to wilt.
I cursed,
I raved, I ranted,
Cause the MAID has
learned to QUILT!!!
