A stroll along the waterside

“What a jolly day it is!

Let’s take a gentle stroll

under the lush garden trees

and over the grassy knoll.”

“A lovely day it is indeed,

a nice day to be out

among the grasses in full seed

with birds and butterflies about.”

“We’ll walk along the waterside

to see if we can find

shells washed up by last night’s tide.

I think you will not mind.”

“Indeed, I won’t, You know me well.

I rather like this hobby

of picking things up where they fell

to preserve in my front lobby.”

“You like to pick things up, you say!

This is good news to hear!

For I have lost my heart today.

It’s yours to find, my Dear.”

“Oh, deary me! What shall I do

about this jolly folly?

For if I find it, there’ll be two

to keep in our front lobby.”
