Abel has come to visit me<\/p>\n
And I take him in the garden<\/p>\n
We go to the pond<\/p>\n
Abel counts the tadpoles<\/p>\n
We have reached eighty two<\/p>\n
And there are plenty more.<\/p>\n
We give up.<\/p>\n
Autumn has touched the trees<\/p>\n
with its little finger<\/p>\n
The cherry tree is already turning flame red and yellow.<\/p>\n
I tell Abel to go and play<\/p>\n
Go in and make myself coffee<\/p>\n
Abel has found a stick he is sitting astride<\/p>\n
And shouting Giddy up, Henry, Giddy up<\/p>\n
Henry is not so obedient<\/p>\n
Abel gives up and wants his lunch<\/p>\n
I make him peanut butter sandwiches<\/p>\n
Bring him some apple juice to drink.<\/p>\n
His mother comes to collect him<\/p>\n
The garden is so quiet now<\/p>\n
And I too miss him till next time.<\/p>\n
