2nd Day of Lockdown

2nd day of lockdown I woke up early in the morning Stepped forward to kitchen Made tea for myself and her I poured it into two mugs and Returned to bedroom. Fake smile on fake face 'Do you want tea' i asked with courage She accepted it without uttering a word After tea i collected the pots. Where are you going? She inquired 'Wash ' i replied 'It is better to leave them here,' she said . I can do better this time, i replied. Without hearing more words I came towards the wash basins I rounded my lips to whistle Started my new task to wash pots First Chinese mug i washed carefully When the second mug was in my hands I listened unpleasant sound in both mind and hands. It got fracture that changed my whistling tune . I listened that Chinese items not live long But damn covid proved it wrong. I stepped forward to doors Opened it and shocked to see city blank A cop was on lockdown's duty They gifted hard who broke lockdown I saw it on tv yesterday. Human nature behave strange I felt it that day When i saw a cop on honest duty. I shut the doors again Put on hand made mask Opened the doors Slowly slowly i moved towards the dustbin across the road I dropped broken mug into the bin I ran towards the doors for heroic win Had a long breath of relax to make relax. After that i took healthy lunch Watched movies suggested by Mr. Dev Took a nap in noon to make me cool But my misfortune never leaves my hands It was 4'o clock, time to take tea But regret this was not for me. Where is tea mug? ,she asked In kitchen, i replied 'I can't find it here, ' she said. I found one cup where is second? Meanwhile i thought a plan to avoid crisis Oh! That's, I replied Mrs. Sharma needs some milk this noon, i replied 'Who is she?, She inquired Slim ,tall and charming lady of our society . 'You should keep distance from her,' plain ordered Why?, dear Don't poke your nose in this matter, she screamed High society lady made him nervous I hated most the lady in this society, she screamed Do you know when you appreciated me last I was speechless and felt nervous there Do you hear me, she screamed Mistake to praise the lady, made me culprit I put on slippers to go out for peace Opened doors and saw the cop on duty Shut it hard and murmured in lips 'What the hell is going on in lockdown ' Neither can stay in nor can go out. 'Don't ask about my dinner of that night Wise readers can tell me right now Could i deserve dinner that night?

U are interested in writing; you have passion, too. Yes, do NOT STOP or anyone. When we are old, we can still enjoy writing, sharing ... In USA, I did free readings and workshops for old age homes/RESIDENTS there. It makes a person feel it is karma yoga, or seva. Hariom Tat Sat, shubharaatri. Jai Ho!

Arjun Bhai, you are ready for Bollywood! Mun=barak ho ... this is quite a series. A few "Indian expressions" may confused readers. The cops "gifted" violators means they were TICKETED. Otherwise, we may think its Christmas or Indian Xmas fr gifts. (Use SLIPPERS, not "sleepers, when u go out - of course, U are neither in nor out (since U & slim, "[high] society lady" made Bhabhi is upset)

It is night in India, good night Bro. Thanks for correction, mistake occurs due to not check spelling .I write on mobile when i starts to write words there are some possible words i clicked on it.After complete poem i don't check it at once. So it happens again and again. The cop is used for a cop (police man) who met earlier. Iam not a good poet like you. I hope i shall get your love and suggestions always. Heartily Thanks I write an acrostic poem for you.is it ok?
