At the Baker's

.          AT   THE    BAKERS
A    very   old    Parsi   couple
Sans    teeth   sans    taste
Sans    almost     any    reason
To     buy    lots   of   pastries  ,
Cakes   ,   butter   ,    biscuits
Except   their   grandson
Seeming    boy    half  -   hidden
Behind   them   ,
Who   however   lingered
When   they   loaded   left
Clutching   a   ten   paisa    coin
And   begging   for   a   biscuit .

Hi Norma, it was nice to see you on my page... The imagery here reminds me of a bakery with a long line, some wait for goodness others just to feed... awesome write. SKAT
