The Granny and her friends..

 The Granny and her friends

The granny and friends always in joy.

The great mother who is first and equal in the home.

At all times watches, the team in a roll call.

The lady with fun and frolics, says stories with them.

O Singing with myna, O’ Running with chicks  

But the wagy dog is always in the kennel.

If it is freed fight with the cocks…

Home with pets shows the love to nature

In this age, she never felt alone at home.

A childhood  stage in real old age of life,

Dawn cocks wake up her with “kokarokoo” song….

 The routine begins collecting plums from the orchards.

Uses  neem twig and powdered charcoal with salt,

Brushes leftover wisdom teeth’s and wanders with chicks.

Then bathing in ponds and routine prayers at the temple

She will collect the coconut rachis with  leaves

Skillfully folded and makes thatched roofs for the pets..

Cooking and feeding the animals in ease.

The granny and friends always in joy.

The world is so connected and time is too less.

 Smelt the rat , somebody in the courtyards

See doctors engineers, businessmen in swift

 Splendid vehicles in the road, horns with  warns

 Children and grandchildren from states,

Need her to come with their wish

Compelled to sell the land of lush and friends at any cost

Genes of love that inherited, mutated by greed

Their Grievance is the presence of  these friends

The little friends afraid and hide in granny’s dress

Over enjoyed kiddish thought,”Kokarakoo” you don’t sing.

 They will never come, the departing day will never come

Distressed cock, flew up and seated on a  tree.

It had woody branches and sweet mangoes at top

In grief, she opened the kennel forever

Let the dog also free while she patted a lot

The wagy licked on her wrinkled feet,

 it also quiet in shade of the tree..

The hen and chicks inside her room

Tears in her eyes, lips began to wobble

 Shivering and wheezing sound that  heard

 Patted  the whistled chicks and get into a sleep

This home never felt like an old age home..

The mango tree is Axed, with “thwack thwack” sound

The dog started  howling and earthly honor to the caretaker

The birds  started flapping their wings

Alas! beloved  granny’s funeral, tears in their eyes

God gave the eternal rest in the treasure of lovely land

Where the granny and friends enjoyed forever.

 The granny and friends enjoyed forever…
