A Stitch in Time
By Kathy Armijo

A stitch in time
Saves nine
A silly little rhyme
With sage wisdom of olden time

Preventive medicine
Helps save young and old
It catches illnesses before they devastate
Prolonging ones life – out-finessing fate

Check your tires and your brakes
So the car can keep you safe
Rather than leaving you stranded
In some forsaken place

Clean out the refrigerator
At least once a month
So you don’t think cheddar is really blue cheese
Plleeeeaazze

Check the shingles on the roof
After hail and a heavy rain
Helps keep the house waterproof
Don’t be a birdbrain and tear off the drain

Sew the tear in your jeans
Unless of course you’re thirteen
Oh, clean the carpet once a year
It will last far longer


Say your prayers every day
Thank God for His blessings
He just loves to hear you say
“Thank You” in all your dealings


A stitch in nine –
          A wonderful time and life-saving line

          Will make your life truly fine

          Saves lots and lots of dimes

Dear Kathy, for a young lady like you, what a wonderful advice anchored in your poem. I always learn from people younger than me. Well written. Emile

The cutest "stiches" I've ever read. Great advice too! That reminds me, now while it's the dry season I've got a gutter I've got to fix! And, I keep forgetting to check those tires...

LOL, I'll eat it blue or yellow, as for cleaning the fridge? That'll be a first...
Like the humour, well cleaning the carpet? you must have a great imagination and humour....

...perhaps a sense of fashion old...is to be renewed...handed down...so there might be something left to hold on to.
well done Kathy...
