If Ruth & you
Come at two,
(Or soon after)
In a state of laughter,
Next Saturday,
You might stay
An hour or so:
And, before you go,
Ruth may sit once more,
As she did before,
For a photograph:
But she mustn’t laugh
While it’s being done—
That would spoil the fun.
They needn’t come
To fetch you home,
If you’ll only agree
To walk with me.
