Uh-oh - attempt at philosophy+limerick = oh boy, this is going to be bad.
A sewer on hindsight once said 'Tis not in the stitches nor thread That one's skill is revealed, But how one conceals Each ripped-and-resewn seam instead.
I love it! But I really wish there was a better word for "someone who sews" than "sewer" beause I always read it as the "sewer pipe" meaning/pronounciation. And who wants to be THAT? I've seen "sewist" but that seems too fussy.
Yes, Holly, I agree. And "seamstress" sounds too professional. I'd say "Person Who Messes About With The Sewing Machine In The Hopes That Something Wearable Will Result" but it doesn't fit well in a limerick.
Haha! How true!
ReplyDeleteBTW, my friendly seam rippers came in very handy for the chickens... not for ripping, but for all those other talents they have. :)
