NEEDLES AND PINS

By the Urban Poet

Pine needles

  Fine needles 

      Sewing needles 

          Knitting needles

Hat pins

   Straight pins

     Ten pins

        And tie pins

Syringe needles 

   Thread needles 

       Record needles

           Haystack needles

Ear pins

   Nose pins

      Hair pins

         And rolling pins

My needles 

    Your pins

         Sewing boxes 

              Pins in tins

Nimble thimbles

    Cotton and thread

        Things you wouldn’t 

               want in bed

Mend and repair

     Make do and mend

          Pins and needles

              That’s the end
