HOBBIES-Sewing, Quilting, Knitting
A pocket handkerchief to hem,
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!
How many stitches it will take
Before it’s done I fear.
Yet, set a stitch and then a stitch,
And stitch and stitch away,
Til stitch by stitch, the hem is done,
And after work is play!
--Christina Rossetti
Old Mother Witch
Couldn’t sew a stitch.
Picked up a penny,
And thought she was rich.
--Traditional
Some little mice sat in a barn to spin,
Pussy came by, and popped her head in.
“Shall I come in and cut your threads off?”
“Oh, no, kind sir, you will snap our heads off!”
--Unknown
RAINBOW IN THE SKY
Cobbler, cobbler, mend my shoe.
Have it done by half past two.
Stitch it up and stitch it down,
While I go walking though the town.
--CHANTS FOR CHILDREN
Tailor had a needle,
A thimble and a thread,
Tailor had a square of cloth,
Striped with white and red.
Tailor took his needle,
His thimble and his thread,
And sewed the gown and stocking cap
That keeps him warm in bed.
--Jack Prelutsky
