“♫ One man and his dog, Spot, went to mow a meadow. ♫”
“What are you singing?”
“♫ One man and his dog, Spot, went to mow a meadow. ♫”
“Why?”
“Seems appropriate.”
“How so?”
“I’m mowing, ennit?”
“Allegedly. Thing is, Dear Heart, you aren’t a man, neither of our dogs is called Spot and, oh yes, neither of our dogs is with you – and what it amuses us to call our back garden is hardly a meadow.”
“Poetic license.”
“The license that would help you most is a driving one, not a poetic one.”
“I have a driving license and you know it!”
“I was speaking ironically. When do you think you’ll be finished?”
“Probably when I’ve done it all.”
“What am I supposed to do in the meantime?”
“Haven’t you got any work to do?”
“Finished it.”
“Okay. You like to be ironic – there’s loads needs doing.”

“Your ride-on? Since when was it yours?”
“Since I bought it. For me.”
“This is getting us nowhere.”

“Shall we stop for lunch, then?”
“Good idea. Before we do, though…”
“What?”
“Over there by the electricity pole…”
“What about it?”
“You missed a bit.”

Aw. Sorry. 😁 I have to be more careful but I must say in my defence I was never a John Denver fan. Liked Rocky Mountain High but after that he and I lost touch.

John Denver and Glen Campbell were always about the only country artists I really liked. Mind you, I was always leaning towards the easy listening end of music.
