Woollen Stockings

Woollen Stockings

He found her

sitting by the roadside

knitting

Woollen stockings

while her mother dyed them

pretty colours

In old

traditional village style

mid the blue and yellow bee hives

Of course

her father had to make a living too

so made honey and shoe\'d ponies

By the roadside

while his daughter

knitted woollen stockings

Bought by poor, rich men tourists

for their wives and for their girlfriends

those forced to sit all day behind computers ..
