Covid 19 & the Quilter
My world has changed since the virus came
Nothing is quite the same
My friends and family I cannot greet
All I can do is sew and eat
My hair’s too long, my roots have grown
Fourteen quilt tops I have sewn
My stash that seemed a luxury
Has now become my sanity
I never knew this day would come
When all my projects might get done
My fabric is in short supply
I’m afraid that I might cry
The only thing that I foresee
Is the day that I’m set free
To get in the car and drive like mad
To the fabric store and be sooo bad
I will shop with delight and glee
Nothing will be stopping me
I will not care if there is a sale
Fabric will be the holy grail
The charge card will surely sing
The cash register will ring and ring
My friends and I will dance with joy
As our addiction we employ
Quilt groups will meet to play
Our show and tell will fill the day
And our life will be so grand
When this virus leaves our land
