GO ON WITH YOUR KNITTIN’When the folks next to you act like those in the zoo:A grumblin’, growlin’, and spittin’,It is a pretty good planTo be calm as you canAnd do something useful – like knittin’.When a gossipin’ Susan with poison barbed tongueComes into the room where you’re sittin’And starts to defameSome neighbor’s good nameCount your stitches out loud and keep knittin’.When there’s been a slight misunderstanding at churchAnd others hint broadly of quittin’Why the very best thingYou can do is to singAnd stay at your post and keep knittin’.When Satan moves in with his cohorts of sinSay you’ll never find me submittin’You irk me I findSo get thee behindAnd please don’t disturb me – I’m knittin’.In the middle of problems the big ones and smallIt’s always proper and fittin’To trust and to prayTill the Lord shows the wayAnd go right ahead with your knittin’**If you don't knit, keep on doing your job, but do not be distracted or tempted to participate in someone else's anger or sin!
