'Again Again'!!

I got very wet in the garden, despite no rain.
It was me and Alba playing the water game!
I fill up with water her little blue plastic cup.
Then into the garden I go, and trip myself up!

The water pours all over me, drip drip drip!
Alba laughs and giggles as I stumble and trip.
So I go back into the kitchen for a cup refill.
Then more water over my face and hair I spill!

'Again, again' says Alba, so I do as I'm told.
By now I'm in big danger of catching a cold!
For the 3rd time in 10 minutes I get all dried.
Then I found myself somewhere dry to hide!

I wore shoes on my hands, Alba laughed 'No'!
Then she showed me where they should go!
We had lovely cheese on toast for our snack.
I pulled a funny face and Alba pulled one back!

We played with an insect, being gentle and kind.
Before it then flew away...a new home to find.
Then I said 'Goodbye' to my lovely playmate.
I gave her a hug and kiss, and made a new date!
