Give an Apron with this Darling Poem!!

I gave an apron and this SO cute poem to 3 very special ladies last year for Christmas. Aprons are so so popular this year it seems. Now it can be that much more fun!!

The Apron Poem

When I used to visit Grandma.

I was very much impressed,

By her all-purpose apron,

And the power it possessed.

She used it for a basket,

When she gathered up the eggs,

And flapped it as a weapon,

When hens pecked her feet and legs.

She used it for a hot pad,

To remove a steaming pan,

And when her brow was heated,

She used it for a fan.

It dried our childish tears,

When we'd scrape a knee and cry,

And made a hiding place

When the little ones were shy.

Farm produce took in season,

In the summer, spring and fall,

Found its way into the kitchen

From Grandma's carry all.

PS I picked this poem off a forum many years ago. IF you are the author or know who the author is please please let me know. I am more than happy to give credit where credit is due.

loves to all!!!
