spin-spin-spinning

Updated: May 8, 2025

"Oh," said ilk ane at ance, "it's with our constant spin-spin-spinning." "Is that the case?" cried the gentleman; "then, John, Tam, and Dick, fie, go haste and burn every rock, and reel, and spinning-wheel in the house, for I'll not have my wife to spoil her bonnie face with spin-spin-spinning." And so the lady lived happily with her gudeman all the rest of her days.
