Back from his five nights summer camp I bombarded my son with questions What did you eat, when did you sleep What was the best part and such He gave me bored couple words- ‘Okay’, ‘not much’, ‘Yeah’ And kept mum at some I felt dejected, ignored and sad But next night, he was abuzz with excitement You know mom, I walked twenty thousand steps per day I sparingly ate my snacks because I didn’t pack enough We, freshmen had to clean the toilets each day We flipped the teachers’ boats when canoeing Can you cook noodles, I’ve missed them so. I absorbed each word, relieved and exultant And silently imbibed the priceless lesson I learnt Never force a trickle Wait for the shower Written on:07/27/2016 Contest:'Create and Idiom' by Jesse Day
