An Old Story Retold Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay

An Old Story Retold



We sit by the pool
His eyes remote
He takes a mouthful
Doesn’t go down his throat!

Can you skip office
For me for a day
Give your work a miss
At home with me stay!

That’s what he said
Recalls the son
Back at home stayed
His father alone!

My old man misses me
His plea I didn’t heed
Needs my company
His I don’t need!

His lunch now gets cold
Something isn’t right
An old story retold
A lost appetite!
