Well, okay, if that's what you need:

Now, you need this:

I used to have a machine just like that. I inherited it from my great-grandmother when I was 7 years old. (Ooops, meant to quote the Singer machine. Ah well, the thread is nice too!).

With knitted brow, I poke my head into this thread and sigh, 'What a yarn!'

Roses are red
Violets are blue.
I have threads -
Do you? :D

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I deny I started this thread! :D
I plead the fifth, actually.
That doesn't rhyme, does it? :)

I can write a little rhyme
something short and sweet.
But when it comes posting time
it usually smells of feet.

Oh yes. Mom's sewing machine was pretty modern, but Grandma had an old one like that.

I took sewing in home economics in high school, but never got the hang of it. I did learn how to sew a button on. That was about it. :D

OK, I'll admit it.
I have four sewing machines,
and nary a plastic bit on a one of them.

Muppet Man told me that this thread tastes like chicken.

I did not believe him.

OK, that reminds me of Maxwell Smart's phone shoe...

:D

LOL I posted that and didn't even notice the phone. :D

Where are my glasses? ;) (Oh, on the top of my head!)
