Lighter	Origins: Little Ball of Yarn (75* d)	RE: Origins: Little Ball of Yarn	13 Dec 24
The parody must have been written promptly. National Police Gazette (NYC), June 18, 1887, among ads for "spicy books," "fancy pictures for gents," etc.: "Old Time Songs. Boring for Oil, Winding up her Little Ball of Yarn, and 33 others....Box 57, Detroit, Mich." Similarly, Jan. 6, 1894: "Winding Up Her Little Ball of Yarn, and Boring for Oil, these two grand old songs sent sealed for 10c. B. DIX, Box 207, Canaan, Conn."
