When suddenly I went "boing!"

    I'd give them jobs mowing

I grinned and potted up the seeds;

   Moon's armoire

  hang star-gilded 
   gowns of indigo
   silk, heady with
       cedar and

         sandal
          wood

I found myself standing before you with all my tattered threads
I gave it all to you for your skillful hands to mend
Now you've stitched yourself into me
You put your name on the inside of my collar...

This one will be an un-bawdy limerick
Once was sewing and my finger got pricked
That innocent word pricked

It's clean as a whistle and twice as damn slick...
