Ada had taken a trip to the West -
poor Caddoc, alone, - felt bereft.
Until...
"Yes!" Caddoc cried, and rolled out of bed.
"While Beloved's away, I'll refurbish my shed!
I'll visit IKEA, perhaps B&Q
and with planking and paint I will show all of you
I'm not just a gard'ner, I'm a carpenter too!"
So he sawed and he planed and he painted and nailed
and much he attempted and in nothing failed,
'til his shed had new gables and windows and doors
and some tourists who passed cried as one "Zut Alors!"
while Caddoc, inside, gazing out with a smirk
thought "At last, a real shed! It was worth all the work!"
But Ada, returning, couldn't hide her delight.
"That looks sooooo cosy, you can stay there all night!"
(LIke old times, folks. Seems Caddoc can't win.)
