'Cat's Cradle's' a string game, --forty inches enables a noose. Fastened end, handles it's stable. Weave string through finger-pinches finagles new patterns that'll form like, 'Candles.' 'Soldier's Bed' is another fine heartburn, bolder threads perfect, designer fashion, shoulders had carried the full weight in turn. Old sage said, "Time waits for none," new passion. 'The Manger' is the fourth well-known styling, form major curves, though new sorts of concerns, the nature, be wrong for Christ's smiling, become fainter, --drinking trough, hoofed beast yearns. Hand strings, a challenge that'll be quite scheming that springs unexpected hurdles, loopers then straying's toward taxing twist-seaming planned strips; string game for two-handed troopers.
