Grandma's Quilt With a Hidden Treasure

I got a letter from a very old friend She said my grandma's life has come to an end My grandma lived so many miles and states away I tried to get her to move, she said it's here I'll stay There was a time the farm was pretty nice In my younger years I stayed there once or twice My friend said there's no point in you traveling out here The place is so run down you couldn't trade it for a bottle of beer So I went there anyway because I figured what have I got to loose The farm is a shack on a dirt road and all I got is dirt in my shoes As the dust settled down something was becoming clear for me to see Hanging on the railing was a quilt and nearby her dog covered with fleas Looking all around this barren land thinking well isn't this just my luck Finding the right folks and do some fancy talking I might make a few bucks As I was doing my planning I spotted a tattered note pinned to the quilt It said, pull a few threads, in the lining there's enough for a mansion to be built Author Eileen Clark 2022
