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!
