By the Water's Edge
A thousand thoughtful thimbles
On as many thoughtless thumbs
Conspired to throw the throne
By the water's edge on Threadmesomes
A prick on a prince's finger
Produced prints on a Royal blouse
Thimble protection once provided
Protected not the Royal House
They struck throughout the kingdom
Thick leathers and thin garments alike
Proper thongs and pretty things
Disappeared in the Threadmesomes strike
