The devil's darning needle
she is named
and for this legend
she is famed
So take heed
of this indeed:-
Daydreamer do not slip
into a sleep
beside a shady stream
As the damselflies
will stitch your eyes
while you lie and dream
Children do not lie just
do as you're told
Wives be fearful - do not
nag and scold
Husbands do take care
never to cuss - never to swear
Young ladies please do not pry
and never mix with gossips
Or the evil dameselfly
will stitch up your lips
