To Weave Or Not To Weave
I wove myself a basket
Out of my Palmetto Palm.
Everyone said that weaving
would surely make me calm.
When starting on this project
I still don't know how come?
I got a little nervous
before I'd woven one.
I kept on weaving this basket
for everybody said,
If I didn't learn to calm myself,
that I would end up dead.
I didn't want to die, you see,
so I just kept on weaving.
On that DAGGUM basket,
Now my mind is slowly leaving!
