Games They Play
since the vacations have begun
having breakfast at home they shun
pick their individual bikes
the ones we chose before the price hikes
accompany them to a nearby park
where a dog always greets with a bark
they open their tiffin's
packed with assorted foods and muffins
they perch themselves on a log
eat most of the stuff rest is fed to a dog
once the food is all over
sun has risen higher they look for a cover
reaching back our destination
to play other games is the fascination
one goes and brings a kettle and three cups on a tray
'am made to have a cup, no choice must obey
when I've finished the so called tea
handed down a bill, as I'm at a restaurant ,its not free
once over with that comes out the doctor set
they are running a hospital, services of all kinds you get
then out comes the kitchen set, I've no say
all kinds of food s are served but made in clay
after this they bring out their stuffed toys
who are then arranged in rows of girls and boys
then begins the teaching,although themselves know little
assuming some students as dull, they are hit with something sharp n brittle
as the time slips by sun goes down n its dim
they are eager to go for a swim
get back in time for supper
change clothes and wear slipper
watch some bit of t.v till sleepy
by now I'm tired and feel a rise in my b.p
waiting for them to get into bed
to which they unwillingly tread
