Poem
I WISH I'D LEARNED TO SEW I wish I’d learned to sew My mother asks me how How I’ve survived till now… I tell her I don’t know I’m feeling so forlorn My socks got old and worn So I’ve thrown them in the bin I cannot take it in And yes I know how cold my toes will be Those socks were so lovely Now my feet feel so chilly I'm sad my darning skills have let me down And now my feet are icy (Original lyrics were written by Don Mclean) ****** A tribute to my penguin socks I’ve walked all over you, but that’s all in the past I knew that our relationship wasn’t strong enough to last You’d always been part of a matching pair But the thinning fabric I can no longer repair I’m finding it extremely difficult to finally let go But the hole in my heel was just too huge to sew I’ve had this pair of socks for about 4 years thye were my absolute favourite ones and had cute penguins on the them… but the threads were so worn so thin they have disintegrated and yesterday my heel went through and they cannot be repaired and are now confined to the waste bin … its poetic licence about not being able to sew as I have mended them many times in the past 11-16-17
