from April Absurdity, The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread

The greatest thing since sliced bread,
Yarn, needles, hooks, and scissors.
Human creativity, and happy coincidences.
The coming together of yarn, fingers, mind and hook or needles.
These are the greatest things since sliced bread.


For me,
My own fingers and mind,
They get bored with repetition,
I must have crafting ADHD,
My favorite pattern is the next one I will
Find, create, engage with, do.

For you,
I hope you understand
The best thing since sliced bread
Is quite individual
Singular as DNA
as untraceable as a tear.

The greatest thing since sliced bread
Comes on wisps of fog in dreams
The heat of shower mists
The rising steam from a mug of morning goodness

The greatest thing since sliced bread
Is you and I
Coming together to play a game
Win points, make things for
Family, charity, and others

The greatest thing since sliced bread
Is all of us
Interconnecting
Helping each other
Explaining and supporting
Allowing others to be our support

The greatest thing since sliced bread just is.
