Re-covering chair seats

We recently moved an old dinning room table into our kitchen. The seat covers were in horrible condition, stained and ugly. I was drafted to re-cover them. I had about four yards of blue flowered cloth that I did not really need. Since my mother's kitchen is mostly blue with a bit of mauve, it worked out nicely to cover the chairs with this cloth.

DISGUISED

Behind that stubborn lock of hair,

Behind mischievous eyes,

Behind that carefree innocence

A man in making lies.

*

Behind his childish buoyancy,

Behind that warming smile,

An adult waits to be revealed

In just a little while.

*

Be slow to speak, my lips! My hands,

be careful what you do!

The kind of person he will be

Depends so much on you.
