Twas Two Weeks Before Christmas....

...and all through the house

The wool sits in bundles

the patterns en route

The stockings are flung on the back of the chair 

in hopes that St. Nicholas

can still find them there!

The doggies are nestled all snug in their bed

while visions of a nap for me

dance in my head

Me in my nightgown

my laptop plugged in

had just settled down

with a tonic and gin

When out on the drive

there arose such a clatter

I sprang from my chair to see

what the heck was the matter!

When what to my wondering eyes should appear

the UPS truck roaring up in high gear!

With a young handsome driver 

so lively and quick

I knew in a moment 

I was about to get sick!

A shipment of wool piled high on my deck

The work of unpacking and washing was next

So away to the studio

I flew like a flash

tore open the package and

tore up the stash

The names of the wools I can barely recall

But what does it matter

I ordered them all!

I spoke not a word

but went straight to my work

filled up the washer

then turned with a jerk

laying a finger aside of my nose

I thought OMG those orders on FaceBook

I can't forget those!

So I sprang to my studio

and wished for a team

who would work while they whistle

now that is a dream!

I looked in the mirror and 

swore to myself

I'm looking like Santa

that plump jolly old elf

With a wink of my eye

and a twist of my jaw

I'm thinking of New Year's

and new patterns to draw

So to all who have ordered

and emailed and called

Merry Christmas my friends!

To one and to all!!
