- When will you think of cutting <br />The hedge? <br />___________- When I’ve finished thinking. <br />- What of? <br />__________- Of mending the gate. <br />- What a voice! That sounds great! <br />- Are we going to have tea? <br />- What for? <br />___________- I’d love to. <br />______________________- You see, <br />Thomas, I haven’t thought of <br />Making it as I’ve been off <br />Household. <br />____________- But why? <br />_____________________- Tom, <br />You thought of the gate from <br />Breakfast till lunch… <br />____________________- I fell asleep. <br />- The gate was broken last week, <br />And all this long time I have seen <br />You thinking of it or sleeping. <br />So, no tea for you till <br />You mend it. <br />_____________- I’ll do soon, Jill.<br /><br />Konstantin Ananin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-will-you-cut-the-hedge/
