For Want of a Nail You Don'T Stand a Dog's Chance
Look what you have done to my shoelaces, Fluffy! Now that's hardly a nice thing to do. There are things in this world, from a twig to a bone, that are more admirably suited to chew. I don't wish to be hypercritical, Fluffy. You might easily have done something worse, but there are things in this world, which, not...

A Stitch In Time Saves Nine
A stitch in time saves nine, If you deal with problem; You act right now than wait, To avoid the mayhem. Spend little time to solve The puzzle or trouble; Better look for result, Don't delay, reach your goal. Hit the mark precisely, Wasting not the moment; Each second passes by, Always be diligent. Things will get bad or...

A Stitch In Time
Today, like all the rest, is a time of devotion to minor goals. Each small task, started and finished, is one more piece added to life's patchwork pattern. Some pieces are big and bold, full of color; others are tedious and filled with intricate designs; others are only tiny, almost indistinguishable lines stitched across a massive cloth. But, all are...

There was a young girl on Long Bay Her swim shorts began to show fray Rip spread up the seam I thought I would scream When chubby cheeks went on display!

A Stitch In Time
A Stitch in Time My jeans are beautiful; patterned with grace. They are signed by the stars, in every place. The drawings embroidered for one and all to see, Are entered in a craft contest, but is there only me? Each stitch is placed-exactly so, The colours fantastic, some seem to glow. The contest was for originality, With craft-work so beautiful...

01:19 - a Stitch In Time
