Ole Wives Tales

In the great need to please people
he saw it smart to undermined
his family
for the sake of others.
Often he would refuse to understand
his families investment strategies.
Citing it as "some ole get
rich scheme"
Where any Idea was useless
 and unneeded.
Dumbing down facts to create
a fiction
where it's origins where
from folklore and wavetables.
He leaned on his faith: but curses it's
teachings
"he wrapped the baby blanket around the tree"
in belief that she would be
 pregnant by next Christmas."
When he asked for a used baby blanket
they told him "the blanket had to be made of the yarns
and prayed upon!"
He had no sheep to shear to make yarn
so he found that he had to buy yarn
he had to ask someone to knit the yarn
and he found Five women could knit the blanket much faster.
He asked 10 women to do so.
It was weeks before Christmas and by this time
next year he wish her to be pregnant.
So her got a group of
friends to put some money together
they bought food and drinks
and set aside two days
to party and dance.
While the women knitted the blanket.
One said it would make more since
to wrap a blanket around the christmas tree. So they did.
13 days they knitted until completion.
Then they partied and dance from Christmas Eve into Christmas.
Then Christmas evening they cleaned prayed and went to church.
praying that those who wanted to be pregnant could be pregnant by this time next year.
