I Left My Coat in a Tree

I left my coat Hanging on a tree. A few days later What do I see? A small bird nest In my small coat hood. In that nest were eggs, And I thought that was good. A few days later What do I see? Three or four hatchlings In my coat in the tree. A couple of days later A storm came along. I found my coat on the ground And the hatchlings were gone. I left my coat Hanging on a tree. I hope the chicks flew away And are happy and free.

Knitting Nightmare

I sat on my bed knitting with the roll of multicolored yarn. The sun set, and the moon rose as the scarf grew longer and longer. Father’s scarf would be done by midnight. Happy but tired, I pulled too hard.

Five loops slipped off the needle. 

No, no, no, no! My heart pounded. I tried to corral the loops back onto the needle. The more I moved, the further the loops went down. They’d be gone and the scarf would be ruined!

I got one loop back on. Two. Three. Four. Finally, five. I sighed, calmed myself, and kept knitting.
