Blue Faced Leicester Blues

what to do, what to do, I’ve got the Blue faced Leicester blues
sent to make pattern prototype, now there’s some unused
can’t find anything to match it’s just so sproingy and so smooth

i thought merino was sublime but it doesn’t match this sheen
nor does it glide through my hands with this swift hook ease
too much left to ignore, what to do with what’s left?
as none of my stash matches, i feel bereft

I’ve got the Blue faced Leicester blues
‘cause I’m poor and cant choose
to buy more of this new delightful
fiber that I long for,
my empty pockets I beseech
to fill and bring more BFL within my reach

I’ve got the BFL blues
the Blue Faced Leicester blues
can’t figure out what to do
got the Blue Faced Leicester blues
