Out to dinner

Morning Fossil, said Phil.

What do you think of the royal visit down under?

Down under what? Said Fossil.

I read about the royal visit in our papers this morning, said Phil,

Awfully successful I thought, the trip down under.

As I said before, down under what? Said Fossil.

I don't know what you are talking about Phil.

Really Fossil, you shoul be better informed.

My mother said that you should always read a newspaper

Before you go out to dinner so that you have plenty to talk about.

Are we going out to dinner Phil? Said Fossil

That will be a nice change.

Will it be grass on the menu?

If it is grass, then we really will know 

If the grass is greener on the other side.

Oh shut up Fossil, said Phil.
