Threading a Needle

Oh, it’s hard to thread a needle!

You must coax and beg and wheedle

Though, of course, it will ignore your fervent pleas;

For the eye’s so very teeny

That your temper might get spleeny

As the thread gets close, but just enough to tease.

 

So you try ad infinitum –

Thread and needle – to unite ‘em

As your patience, like the thread, begins to fray

And you realize that your sewing

Is like life, the way it’s going,

Tossing challenges to stump you every day.
