The Card Holder Or three ladies of sixty The first, the one who Gently wrapped the cleaned tin cans In lavender and gray A spinster type, or widowed maybe Hair and eyes the same soft colors’ Of the colors chosen (a bit if vanity perhaps, thought she had no notion) On a table just before her The yarns are on display She fingers one and puts it down Then decides upon the gray. The monotony of motion As she wraps the yarn around, Gentles her thoughts And a smile spreads across her face. She sees within her mind A Christmas scene, A glowing fire place And there, upon the mantle Her finished holder stands With cheery cards displayed. The second, The buyer, a lively elfin type, Popped in to do a kindness and chanced to add it to her purchase. Who knows what drew her to it The maker? The colors? They say opposites attract And on what Mischievous mission did she there upon, With a twinkle in her eye and the devils very grin Present it to the third? Who received it graciously? Oh yes, a sense of humor she A little bold and spirited, She fondly held the gift before her And showed it to her friends " An old tin can Wrapped round and round with yarn." Jo perry |
