Jim heard about it, / and brought me rope, showed me how to unravel / it. The captain heard about it, and showed me / how to weave the unraveled rope. The / third engineer heard about it, and made me / brass earrings. The fourth engineer heard / about it, and made me brass bracelets. My / roommate waded through piles of rope in our / room, decided to clear her way to her bunk / by weaving a girdle and bandeau"; (black & white), 1935
