Not a Knit Knot Just what is,a Knit Knot Tree?
I looked it up, but could not see
It’s Not a Knit,it’s Not a Knot
A Knit Knot tree is,tell me what?
I tried to Knit a Knit Knot tree
unlike the Knit Knot tree you see
but I can’t Knit,a Knit Knot Knit
a Knit Knot Knit.forced me to quit
Though I can Knot a Knit Knot Knot
a Knit Knot Knit, no,I can not
It’s hard to Knit a Knit Knot tree
Especially for a Nit like me
"The Gray Cold Sky"
It's cold outside,
too cold to go.
But the KnitKnot Tree doesn't think so.
In mittens clumsy,
With frozen toes
I add just one more luscious color
And then I add another,
Remembering suns of yellow, turquoise seas
flaming orange blossoms and skimpy pink tees.
There!
That's todays reply to the gray, cold skys.
Now into the Emporium for tea
And holding my frozen feet,
I sit saturated with color,
and watch the street
for the people who smile with the tree.

KNIT KNOT TREE
Knit will not hurt the tree, you twit, All the experts say. Not acrylic or all natural, The tree will have its sway.
Its dormant shoots, its wounds (the knots) Delight in colors gay. Not double knit or garberdine, The tree will rule the day.
Tree huggers trudge in woolen mitts To stand by here and pray. They knit their brows and toss their barbs From now to Arbor Day,
While knitters twitch their needles sharp, "It is not crewel," they say. Under the Village Knit Knot Tree The JAFAs dance and play.
