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
