It started in Betty’s basement letting,
by bulkhead light you could hear them clicking,
increased in number they practiced their knitting.
Once a week she would round up the gang,
every stitch they plotted and planned,
each ball of yarn was wound by hand.
Underground rebels that nobody knows,
seedy markets and tacky craft shows,
sharing needles and quilted throws.
A guerilla army in camouflage knitwear,
plotted their assault on Trafalgar Square,
cashmere carpet bags to carry their gear.
They used a code name, called it Fame,
some went by bus some by train,
gentle old ladies are given a free rein.
The morning papers said no one had warned us,
the people who did it were known as Yarn bombers,
Neslon was pictured in bright pink leg-warmers.

Really liked this one as well!
Somehow that rhyme-scheme added a lot to the comic effect for me.

I quite enjoyed this. I felt as though I were reading the lyrics to drinking song, or maybe one sang around a hearth. Very well done. I look forward to reading more from you.

You really know how to tell a good yarn!

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
