"Knitting"

This morsel, a limerick, was my very first posting to ERA, as it was then.
The date was Sunday, September 16th 2001.

I was brand new to the site and, a few days earlier, I'd had the first inkling of the horror that was to become known as '9/11'. I was logged onto the site when a message appeared:

"Go turn on your TV, an airliner has just crashed into a sky-scraper."

The world had changed.


Anyway, to happier thoughts ..............

My sweet maiden has long pubic hair,
Soft and lustrous and silken and fair.
Carefully she trims it,
Then deftly spins it,
And of socks I have twenty three pair.
