If You Want to Make a Hat – A Silly Poem

    If it’s cold outside and you live in Maine
    You might want to make a hat.

    You need wool, a pattern, needles to knit,
    A marker or two, and a cat.

    The pattern is easy to find online,
    The wool is a hank I bought.

    But the needles must be the right size, you know,
    And for them I have endlessly sought.

    My basket of needles was all in a jumble,
    And I gasped at the tangle inside,

    For I couldn’t find the ones that I needed
    No matter how hard I tried.

    “Aha!” shouted I. “I know just the thing!
    I can sew up a neat little case

    With pockets inside for each little size,
    Every one of them in the right place.”

    So I pulled out my fabric and measured and cut
    And pinned and ironed and sewed.

    A case was soon made for my needles to live in,
    Each one in its proper abode.

    And now I can show you my sweet little project
    All finished and tidy and done.

    My needles were quickly tucked into place
    And my knitting will be much more fun!

    I suppose you are wondering at my little rhyme
    And why I might need a cat –

    The rhyme is for fun but my lap is still cold,
    It would be nice if the cat came and sat.  🙂

    *Thanks for coming to visit and reading my story. I hope you’ll stay for a while.
    My rhymes are awful, but the writing is fun and I hope I brought you a smile.
