Domestic Shades-20 Poem by Indira Renganathan
Domestic Shades-20
I can't be without writing
Yet I can't....for
I sang 'Jack and Jill'
To fall like 'Humpty Dumpty'
Then I sang 'Baa baa black sheep'
To ask 'Johnny Johnny eating sugar? '
Then I sang'Rain rain go away'
To smile and say 'Roses are red'
Then I sang 'cobler, cobler mend my shoe'
To count'One, two buckle my shoe'
Then I sang 'Hot cross buns, hot cross buns'
To answer 'Little Tommy Tucker...for supper'
Then I sang 'Pussy, pussy cat where had you been'
To 'Ding dong the pussy in the well'
Then I sang 'Chubby cheeks, dimple chin'
To lull 'Twinkle, twinkle little star'
Then I sang 'Teddy bear turn around'
To look around for my daughter
Then I sang 'my heart is crying'
I want to sit with my writing
Then before I sang...whistled
Whistled and whistled the pressure cooker
Then I looked around for my daughter
To put out the pressure cooker
Then before I yelled out for daughter
Sing, sing said my grand-daughter
Then I sang'Cooker ghost is crying
Cooker ghost is crying, come and put out
Cooker ghost is crying, cooker ghost is crying
Come and put out
I can't be without writing
Yet I can't...for
Cooker ghost is crying, cooker ghost is crying
