Thimbelina's Passion

From high atop her velvety stool,
Thimbelina's 'Ode to the Needlework Tool'
Floats across summer's breezes...
"I may be airy. I am a fairy... but I'm no fashion fool".

Casting spells and mixing potions,
Transforming frogs and concocting lotions...
None of these can stir her heart
Quite the same as sewing's notions.

Pins and needles. Thimble/Hat.
High fashion? La mode? I say "Drat,
Give me my play-things! Give me my toys!
There, what do you think of that!"

Verse composed by Thimbelina's Mum
