Making a Quilt

Making a Quilt
by Robert (Bob) Moore © 2016

I’m going to make a quilt today
if nothing else gets in my way
he’ll want a cup of tea I know
as soon as I sit down to sew.

I tell him that the needles stuck
he says that he will have a look
don’t know what he thinks he can do
doesn’t know a bobbin from a shoe

He sits down, all full of zeal, 
but then he asks me where’s the wheel
there’s no belt, no pedal too
don’t know what I am going to do

I know a Singer Sewing Machine
but one like this I’ve never seen
its not like the one my mother had
to do the sewing for my dad

I’ll pull the cotton and see what shakes
but that’s no good, the needle breaks
at least it’s not stuck anymore
and then he just walks out the door.
