00:00:00.830 --> 00:00:01.830 align:middle line:90%
I've lost this one also.

00:00:01.830 --> 00:00:09.210 align:middle line:90%


00:00:09.210 --> 00:00:11.880 align:middle line:90%
Number 44.

Michael Hogan tells me
his son likes this one.

00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:15.210 align:middle line:90%
I'll read it for him.

00:00:15.210 --> 00:00:18.540 align:middle line:90%


00:00:18.540 --> 00:00:21.390 align:middle line:84%
"We have slept the
ponies out to pasture.

00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:28.080 align:middle line:84%
And now, walking the fence,
'Boys,' I say, 'I dub you men.

00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:32.460 align:middle line:84%
From this hour forward,
do your coloring here.'

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:35.790 align:middle line:84%
Robert, dragging
the hammer, chooses

00:00:35.790 --> 00:00:38.580 align:middle line:90%
a deep blue for the grass.

00:00:38.580 --> 00:00:44.070 align:middle line:84%
Andrew, his pockets rife with
staples, yellows every rock.

00:00:44.070 --> 00:00:51.570 align:middle line:84%
Suspending a hand above the
pond, I fancy the water pink.

00:00:51.570 --> 00:00:57.000 align:middle line:84%
Our house goes green, the
improvements red as coxcombs.

00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:00.180 align:middle line:84%
Then, with crayons
sharp as auger points,

00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:03.300 align:middle line:84%
we trace the fence line
black until the farm

00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:06.150 align:middle line:90%
is bordered like a page.

00:01:06.150 --> 00:01:08.160 align:middle line:90%
'Well done,' I say.

00:01:08.160 --> 00:01:10.740 align:middle line:84%
And back over the
hill in single file

00:01:10.740 --> 00:01:15.900 align:middle line:84%
we march to live in the
little green house."

00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:18.950 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]
