Old wifes tales are a mystery <br />which started way back in history. <br />If I wore a dress with a dropped hemline <br />then mother would say 'A Stich in Time Saves Nine! <br />We each had a jar on one of the kitchen shelves <br />as the money went in Mum would say'Look After The <br />Pennies and the Pounds Take Care of Themselves. <br />I hope you have enjoyed my old wifes riddle because <br />There's Been Many a GoodTune Played on an Old Fiddle; <br />but dont ask for an encore, I am forty and a score.<br /><br />sylvia spencer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/old-wifes-riddles/
