Hour 9 Prompt 9

 

A Stitch in Time Saves Nine

 

Stitches. You know, those things that happen

when you thread a needle and then draw it 

through some fabric. If you have a tiny hole, 

mend it fast. If the button is about to fall off, 

add a few stitches to keep it on. If a seam has

lost a stitch or three, just go over the stitching.

But we don’t do that any more. If the button 

falls off or if the seam rips, just toss it away or

maybe put it in the  Goodwill box. A stitch in

time might save nine, but very few will find 

that out any more or even understand what it means.
