the scarf

I wrote this back in high school. One of my friends was knitting a scarf, though it was indistinguishable from any other knitted piece at the time. I asked her what she was making, and she replied, "It's going to be a scarf when it's done." So that's how it started!

it's going to be a scarf
when it's done
it'll be warm and long
to wrap round your neck
you can wear it now
or later
you can keep it in your room
in a bag of old clothing
or give it away to the salvation army
next year
