Ye Knight of Ye Silver Thimble

Vexed and perplexed, when knot and kink
Conspired to daze my weary head
And nearly make me frantic,
I bless the friend who said, "I think
You'll find the only perfect thread
To be the WILLIMANTIC.
'Twas sound advice, I followed it,
And saved a world of bother,
So good, so smooth, so strong, so free,
The best is good enough for me,
From then to now I never yet
Have wished for any other.

Willamantic thread trade card. Poem is printed on reverse of card.
