Beware! Children Are Watching Our Activities Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Children are back from school
Grand-children are back from school;

They come home and feel hungry
Their mother is offering egg fried rice and curry;

I ask them frequently to give me a handful,
The dear ones refuse to spare even a spoonful;

I ask them repeatedly,
They refuse bluntly and rigidly;

They questioned me one day, reluctantly!

Have we 'ever' asked you 'any day' to give us
a gulp of what 'you drink' in the night daily;

Beware! Children are watching our activities
and teach them manners and their duties!
