Snip, pin, stitch
Snip, pin, stitch,
snip, pin, stitch.
Hands measuring,
scissors flying,
Singer humming.
Snip, pin, stitch,
snip, pin, stitch.
Black cloth,
white cloth,
cloth of many colors
parading under the needle.
Snip, pin, stitch,
snip, pin, stitch.
Bears, monkeys, bats,
trolls, sailors and fairies
waiting to be born.
Snip, pin, stitch,
snip, pin, stitch.
Oh, my!
long strings, short strings
pieces and pieces of cloth
laying all over the floor.
Snip, pin, stitch,
snip, pin, stitch.
Finally all is done.
Maria Fischinger @ Chicago, 2007
