Been resting quietly for a week.
The first few nights after the first of the year
my owner read me regularly, but he has forgotten me,
I guess.

Busy day. Owner led league meeting and had to look up references.
He had an awful time finding one,
though it was right there in its place all the time.

In Grandma’s lap all afternoon. She is here on a visit.
She let a teardrop fall on Colossians 2:5-7.

In grandma’s lap every afternoon now. It’s a comfortable spot.
Sometimes she reads me and sometimes she talks to me.

Rather stuffy and hot,
I have two magazines, a novel, and an old hat on top of me.
Wish they would take them off.

Used by Mary a few moments today.
She was writing a letter to a friend whose brother had died,
and wanted an appropriate verse.
