Thursday (AI Art) Inspiration
Today on Thursday (AI Art) Inspiration, Fandango asks us to respond to the challenge, perhaps by writing a story or a poem or just offering our raw reaction as inspired by the AI-created image seen below. Here’s my poem which I’ve had Suno put to music. OK, kids; here goes!

Needle & Thread (Ooh-la-la)
Lyrics by Me, Music by Suno
Mmm …. hush now, boys ….
Mama’s got a hemline to fix ….
Well, I’m perched on my treasure chest, lace fallin’ off my shoulder,
Got a hat so big and curly, my left eye’s never been bolder,
Pearls are stacked like secrets, rings on every finger,
And two little gentlemen in gingham who just can’t help but linger
They’re tuggin’ on my threads, oh my,
Stitchin’ up my velvet with a twinkle in their eye ….
Needle and thread, darlin’, needle and thread,
two tiny tailors sayin’ things that oughta stay unsaid,
Squeak squeak, honey, they’re hemmin’ up my knee,
Ain’t no gentleman in Paris sews as sweet for me!
Oh, needle and thread (ooh-la-la), needle and thread,
Mama’s lookin fabulous and the cat just stays in bed
Now Monsieur Whiskers on the shelf, he’s watchin’ from the linens,
Lickin’ his lips at my boyfriends, oh, the scandal of beginnings!
Feathers floatin’ everywhere like a pillow fight gone wrong,
My scissors on the floorboards ‘cause I’m too busy with this song
The mannequins are jealous, oh, they got no curves like mine,
Just a waistline and a hanger and a lonely dotted line ….
Needle and thread, darlin’, needle and thread,
Two tiny tailors sayin’ things that oughta stay unsaid,
Squeak squeak, honey, they’re hemmin’ up my knee,
Ain’t no gentleman in Paris sews as sweet for me!
One wears blue britches, one wears an apron ….
I don’t ask questions, sugar, I just keep on smilin’
A little to the left, boys … no, the OTHER left ….
Mmm, careful with that needle, now ….
that’s my finest dress!
Needle and thread, darlin’, needle and thread,
Two tiny tailors got me blushin’ rosy red,
Squeak squeak, honey, a stitch in time is free,
But a lady in a lace-up gown? Oh, that’ll cost ya cheese!
Needle and thread (ooh-la-la), needle and thread,
Mama’s lookin’ fabulous …. and the cat?
Still in bed.
Good boys.
Squeak.
