Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Ahhhh, said Fossil

Ahhhh, said Phil

We are back! Said Fossil and Phil.

Back at last.  Back to the good old days

Of carrots and pink champagne!

Yes, indeed, said Fossil

I can't wait to get back into the swing of things

I even want to see the goats.

Now, that is a surprise, said Phil

Yes, said Fossil, I am fond of the goats Phil,

And you know what they say Phil?

No Fossil, what do they say?

Absence makes the heart grow fonder!

What is fonder, Fossil, said Phil?

I am not quite sure actually, said Fossil,

But it has something to do with food, I am sure.

I think it is a simmering pan of hot melted cheese that you dip bread into.

I think that is a fondue, Fossil, said Phil.

Fondue, fonder same difference Phil, said Fossil.

Fossil? Said Phil.

Are you saying you want to dip the goats into a simmering pan of hot melted cheese?

Indeed, said Fossil.
