To get ready for the rug school campfire practice this song!
ODE TO RUG SCHOOL

(sung to the tune of Squid Jiggin’ Grounds)

O, this is the place where the hookers are meeting
With scissors and mat frames there’s fun in the air
We’re getting together for fun, food, and laughter
As we gather again for rug school this year.

We’re here from the East Coast, and here from the West Coast,
From South Coast and Central, and further away,
With old friends and new ones from our own great big country
As well as some hookers from the U S of A.

We’ll learn new techniques and improve on some others,
We’ll share our ideas and make up new plans,
It’s always a pleasure to spend time together
As we work on our projects with hooks in our hands.

When school is all over, it’s time to go home
We’ll get on the road with a heartfelt goodbye.
We all drive away in different directions
And work on our hooking for next year’s display.
