For they're doomed to knit forever on that bench out by the road With their Navajo plied bison yarn.... that they hand dyed with Woad! |Yippee-i-yaaaaaaaaa Yippee-i-oooooooooooooo Ghost knitters by the road| |

I started singing it right off the hop, then tried to raise my youngest on her cell phone to sing it for her. She's both a great fan of parody & a great knitter. May I share this with the seniors with whom I do music? It's great fun, Mario. [btw sis's book looks like a great read!] openMike--lol==don't get me started on knitting puns cheers all keep on pickin dennis |
