Ode To the Irresponsible

To the irresponsible

In the eve of dawn
When the cricket advices the listeners
The moon and the stars sit
Performing their duties and enjoying their rights

The blowing breeze freezes her
In spite of her matrimonial statues
Her dreams full of horror
That of a woman smooching hers

At times when the door cracks, open
The water has ran down the drain
The tap laid bay
Like a ship at anchor

Even when they said their prayers
She bemused at his Amen
Does he hear the both?
Receives both their thanks

Will he be amused?
Or maybe flabbergasted 
To see her protruding belly
Why do you refuse a meal?
And purses the flies from eating same
