Great Aunt Rosa knits and crochets,
but lately it’s gotten carried away.
bigger and better she’ll delightfully say,
while the rest of the family is left in dismay.

It’s more than just a color display,
her nimble fingers have gone quite astray,
the biggest project is now underway,
a riotous monster whose name is Sir Ray.

It fills up the house, we moan and we pray,
what else can we do; we must move away,
then Rosa and Ray forever in play
will welcome the pixies, the gnomes, and the fae.
