Words: nosy, forbid, mulled, travel, unravel, submission
Unraveled
by Linda Gordon
In my new sweater, sitting cosy,
Drinking my tea,
I daydreamed and mulled
As my cat became nosy
About a fray I didn’t see
She pulled
She undid
Before I could forbid
She quickly traveled
The hooked yarn unraveled
The yarn, without cognition
Followed in submission
Neither with any contrition
