Bad Day

Not every day is a good day

for the elfin tailor.

Some days the stolen cloth

reveals what it was made for:

a handsome weskit or the

jerkin of an elfin sailor.

Other days the tailor sees

a jacket in his mind and

sets about to find the fabric.

But some days neither

the idea nor the material

presents itself; and

these are the hard

days for the tailor elf. —Kay Ryan
