O Naughty Child..! [part-3 ] Poem by sundaram chandrakalaadhar

[PART-3 ]

Whenever you eat,
Demand my presence
In close proximity-
Command to close my eyes-

O.. God only knows
How much I toil
Prior to a palmful food
Reaching shores of your mouth!

' Surprise ' lightnings
Should silver my face!
Thunders of ' aa.haas ' and ' oh.hos '
Must crumble on my lips!
Body whole must
Bounce like a ball!

Mind you ever
My tiring self?
Obey You; I must
With no contortion whatsoever!

If not....
All the food you shall spoil
And seed it all over the street!

Regular dishes
Ever you dislike!
Certainly meals moments-
Crazy times for us both!

Exhaustive drills and strolls
Then you schedule-
Leaving me stranded
With defeated food!

My throat creaks
In constant cawing-
My legs ache
In shadowing behind
To safeguard you
From imminent falls -

My eyes pain
Awaiting the moment precise
To thrust food balls
Past your unwilling lips-
' Burr...rring 'tongue
And twisting face,
Ending up in smearing
Your mango cheeks!

My patience dries
Like food on my fingers!
Oh..is it a spectacle
Can anyone miss?

At this ordeal's end
Thoroughly exhausted
I find finishing off
Much of your meals!
