Knitting Time Children in the long ago, learned at school Jo knit and sew. I choose mitts for my friend, And proud I was to knit off the end. My teacher Nun, then said to me, bring Up your mitts for me to see. One mitt looked good, but had no thumb, and The mate she said was ten rounds overdone. My teacher in a frowning way, said 7 will box Those mitts and send them "far, far ,Away." Before I could say there for my friend, the school Bell rang, and off I run. Next afternoon the teacher said, here is your yarn To knit again. The mitts this time will have two Thumbs, and you'll wear them to school when they Are done. It was a day I live with yet, because one Mitt had both the thumbs. 151
