The Secret Story of the Scarf

I got it in my head one day
to make a special scarf
I didnt know where it came from
or even where to start

I thought it out so carefully
and minded every stitch
Hoping he would like it and
that my luck would switch

It took 10 days to knit it
and I doubted constantly
If I really should continue
or give it up entirely

But I made up my mind
It had to be done
and so I finally finished
at quarter past one

Just how I should give it
I wasnt quite sure
But at giving people gifts
I was no amateur

I hid it in my coat
and waited till the end
When I could give the gift
to my special friend

Now he often wears it when
he goes out for a walk
But I rarely ever see him
we never even talk
