Holey Clothes - Cross With Moths comic poem number 364 by Angela Lansbury

 Holey, holey, holey, shame

My green silk vest is full of holes

It looks just like my garden

Dug up by voles or moles


I'll have to go on Amazon

And buy moth repellent pills

I'm feeling very ill

I hope those moths will soon feel ill


Meanwhile I pop clothes in the freezer

Hope my husband never knows

Why the freezer has no food

'cos it's filled up with clothes


I'll spend hours sewing up the holes

And hope no-one can tell

So I can wear my clothes

With such holes I cannot sell


Are they carpet moths or clothes moths?

I really do not care

I'll eliminate all of them 

Be really glad when both aren't there

Moths may look cute like butterflies

But I'm a simple soul

Let them go to heaven elsewhere

And take with them their holes.
