My Rofl Poem by Umasree Raghunath

17 April 2015- My ROFL!

Lying in the bed, with the legs up onto the side wall
Imagine the heavy weighing dame take up a fall
Ha Ha Ha…there goes the giggles all around
Of the children watching this heavy weight fall
Stop did I? Oh No! Why would I?
Took the new shoes on a fresh early morning
And ran behind the stars painting the city green
Ran behind me cameras with people laugh
For seeing a rolling ball running around! Ha Ha Ha!
Like a little vibrant teen, I wanted to go on swing
But did not dare with the brook below the twigs
As I sat on the swing and had my own share of fun
I could hear the screeching sounds of breaking swing!
Jumped did I, in a haste, rolling again in the sand beneath
Looked at myself, and could not stop to laugh
As I was full of sand, like the child who played in the beach
Got up without noticing whose watching me around
Went to the ice-cream vendor standing nearby for a scoop
Sugar-starved self-gulped it all in haste making faces
With the cream embracing all sides of mouth and face
My husband started to laugh and showed me the pocket mirror
And I just then noticed how crazy did I look
Tired yet naughty, full of sand on the legs and body
Ice cream melting in my hands and making impact on my face
I was still giggling like a stupid or innocent child
Sometimes, it’s just ok to be what you want to be
Roll over, giggle and make the child in you shine and glee!
