                                   Tell Me About Your Day

The evening air is cool – let’s sit outside in the dusk
Tell me about your day, your work, your friends
I like your friends; they write such lovely verse -
Nothing as nearly good as yours, of course!

The evening air is cool

I enjoyed breakfast with my brother, our weekly outing
We talked of our children and our hopes for them
Later I worked at chores in the garden and house
And read new lines from my favourite poet

The evening air is cool

I so enjoy talking with you – do I talk too much?
Too little? Just right? You are such fun to listen to!

And the evening air is just right
