Evelyne and the Plums!

I meet my neighbour on the bus
Last stop, so there is only us
She smiles as we sit down together
We comment on the lovely weather.

It's warm and I've just done a tour
A lovely cup of tea's in store.
Happiness just sometimes comes:
She offers me her glut of plums!

The jam boils as I sip my tea
I think, how lucky can I be?
Chopped and simmered there's a lot
So tomorrow – I'll give her a pot!
