And ode to the humble bailing twine

Oh bailing twine

Of binder string

what joy to folk

you always bring

such many things

for you we use

from fixing posts

to birthing ewes

For washing lines

for skipping ropes
for towing cars
up hilly slopes
For doggy leads
for butting goats
for shutting gates

for mending coats
For marking out
a line of seeds
for tieing up
some cut down weeds

for mending saddles
for mending straps
for horsey rugs
for leather chaps
For bucket handles
for lacing boots
for hamock making

for tieing shoots
For broken tents
for tethering
oh what joy
this twine does bring.

well apart from using it to make
