Super Seven
If my house was on fire,
What would be the things, without which I would not retire?
Sixteen minutes of fate and so many things to accumulate.
Seven things that keeps our emotions entwined,
Would make my priority before I wind up and evacuate.
Mom’s paintings and Dad’s woodcraft.
Wrapped inside are numerous stories and memories.
I would surely save, every piece of their art.
My little sweet sister, My boss for ever!
Hahaha! Her public yet super-secret box, always under cover!
Hides her secret box behind her clothes in her cupboard.
Her broken nails, broken tooth, toffee wrappers, variety of erasers, her lock diary, the list goes on and on.
Even in my dreams, if I forget to take that box along,
Rest assured, I am gone!
The note book of my songs along my fortuitous guitar,
It always makes me a star!
“Me and my guitar”! We can never stay apart.
My blue and white, simple tennis shoes.
It makes my moves absolutely smooth.
It is with me, for every rally and every move.
Closest to my heart is my tennis racket.
Yes, it remains by my side.
An incredible gift from my mentor, my coach.
It’s an honour and my pride!
I don’t think, without it I would survive.
But it would be an ordeal that would never dissipate.
Wish me good luck! I should never have, such a fate.
