Rama Balasubramanian Poet Tanka

Bugs At Meal

Every night during 
meals, when my son is eating
his dish with relish
bugs fly around him, he shouts
with fright, until they go out

Maybe because he 
dislikes them, they hover near
him only as if 
they like him very much. This
is very funny indeed.

We all are around
why they come near you only
we ask him while we
are laughing. He doesn't find 
it funny, just wants to eat
