My little owl was feeling low
And so I perked her with a bow.
My ironing board was weary too
And so I covered it with blue.
The seagull's flying low today,
I hope he doesn't fly away.
My puzzle needed just a clean
And then wrapped up in polythene.
'Tis market time again, you see
And I'm as busy as a bee.
Gathering bits and bob's to sell,
Have I got a hope in hell?
You may have guessed my purchase new,
Let me show a little clue...
Crafty ways make rhyming days.

Oh! My! My! I don't believe it.....
ReplyDeleteI thought l was the only one left on the planet...
With a wooden ironing board...
When l 'was' married back in 73...That's 1973...
Went to meet in~laws for first time...In their shed
was this wooden ironing board....Which was 10yrs
old then...I grabbed it...brought it home...It is now..
mmmmM! 10~20~40~50~51yrs old...And, still using
it....My daughter caught her fingers in it once...And,
refused to use it, unless l put it up for her...! :>).
I have a pink..patterned cover on mine...HeHe! What
else....! :).
oooops! Sorry! think l just noticed summat....
DeleteLooking at the size of that ironing board, up
against the door...Is it a child's toy then.....!
Perhaps..I am still the only one on the planet
with a full sized ironing board....
LOVE your little Owls E.E. Just perfect faces on them :-)

I would love to have a book in rhyme
ReplyDeleteAnd I would talk that way all the time
You have such lovely things for sale
Seagull, puzzle and the owl
And I would feel just like my mother
With an ironing board - a gingham cover
Good luck with the market! x
