Ego trip

After a lifetime of the rare high
No talent and mostly lows
Live or die, possibly suicide
You decide.

Then, oh mye
One day, looking for a passtime
Went a sewing machine to buy
(Cost more than a few dimes)
And on You Tube to watch videos
Also a method or two maybe to follow

How such and such to confectionate
Hum, a dress? Too difficult on a first try to make
Such talent you do not have and  cannot fake

A lovely blouse, long sleeves and frills?
Not yet, too intricate for me, still.

Ah, but tote bags. leather or fabrics?
My tiny machine on leather would die
So leather, though a grand idea, I skip
Some other option I will try.

Tons of fabrics to choose from
From the cheap and not suitable (too thin)
Neither the super  classy and quite expensive, 'hon
So I go for the middle way and begin

SUCCESS
But not as a salesman for that I am not
And to Good Will I give the lot
Ah, but wonder of wonders in the métro one day
I saw a lady with a creation of mine and on her way
