I could print a beautiful design
Ask Petra to fix up the spring
But would it hold up
And not get unsprung.
That's when Myna dropped in
She looked radiant and beaming
We walked back to the café
to where the twins were sleeping.

Who would be there for him
Like a parent.
I had to refuse
I was about to say no
When a loud squeal rang out
And everyone was on the go.

Myna followed with the babies
"Wait for me!"
Gyn gave a shout.
