Poem - A Good Read

Another poem from Lisa via email through the Knit4Charities group. Thanks again Lisa. I think this one really sums me up quite well.

A Good Read.
It started out so innocently,

My small pattern collection.

How it ended up so large,

I have no recollection.

First I needed some for babes,

Then toddlers and their toys

Then I needed some for men,

As well as girls and boys.

Then there were the doilies,

Tea cosies, socks and mittens.

Then there were the New Age books

With these patterns I was smitten.

All these patterns were such fun.

Then I thought, just one for me,

Then my conscience grew a bit

So I collected for charity.

I have so many pattern books

They really are my obsession.

So when I'm gone- don't get a shock,

You've heard my true confession.

You're welcome to come and have a browse.

I could stand as Auxiliary

To the only place you'd find more booksAnd that's The State Library.
