Rama Balasubramanian Poet Rhyme

Blue Hole

I told my son sternly, "I don't want blue ink dots
in your white dress I just washed without any spots"

Next day, back from school, my son was the best boy
I knew for sure behind that behaviour was a ploy

Changed clothes, ate his meal without making a fuss. 
"Why should I finish my homework?", did not discuss

School dress normally thrown here and there
Despite searching, couldn't find it anywhere

Asked him where have you dumped it?
I put it in the washer. Don't worry, no ink stains in it!

Happily I took his school dress to see
Only to find a blue hole in knee

Did you fall? How did your dress get torn?
This hole was not there when morn you had worn

I don't know he gave me a sheepish grin
There are no bruises in my skin

I knew the hole was made by my son
To remove ink stain, he had done

All because I was strict, I must confess
I had to rush to market and buy a new dress
