Spinning Dreams

The spinning wheel in the corner
That spun dreams of multicolors

spinning fibers into strings and adding a twist
it caused many women to end up with sore wrist

she turned the wheel back to unwind the spiral on the spindle
then clockwise again until the string had dwindled

The great wheel Saxony was the most popular brand
beautiful thick chunky yarn so much better than twisted by hand

fine wool, linens, cotton, and stringy yarns
woven into clothing covering little arms

the art that’s now forgotten was a dreamers wheel of fame
Much later the spinning Jenny and the spinning frame came

You could say The spinning wheel was the fabric of our life
Most men were happy to buy one for their wife
