A Lonely Day

I woke up and looked around bedroom
My spouse was off to work

I called my Pet dog
But it had been stolen by a jest previous night

To kitchen I went if someone was there
The maid had absconded her duty

I went across the road to the  grocery shops
None  of them was open

I sat at veranda to think
But my brain was dull and dump that morning

I phoned my close friends  far and near
The response was, “network busy”

What a lonely day for me in this town today
No one here, no one there; no response to calls

“Am I the only one lingering on earth today?”
I asked with a deep breath!
