The Ditty Of A Dwelling Poem by Konalli Rajeev Naik

The Ditty Of A Dwelling



A kinsman you are
And the earliest visitor
Avoid entering the foyer.
Your soles are plastered
With the stinking slush.
Kindly be in my front yard
As my car porch pole.
Brain blooming is my mansion
Exciting lovable and livable
With the bedecked proud showcase
Hugging house warming gifts.
I adore essential ego goods
Available in easy installments
Chanting the market hymns
‘Be the proud owner
Of smart home furniture,
So you shouldn't be
Automatically put off'.
If you disown ego goods
Your dwelling is unadorned
Worthless lockup.
I fancy large lounge,
Cozy coffee table
And the helpless vase
For manufactured plastic flowers

I prefer the tempting
Dining area
For the potent gulp of liquor
With the fish curry rice
Of lotus stems.

The sentinel of my dwelling
Is the hanging long haired
Handsome doggy, of course,
He is my bodyguard.

The spine of the kitchen
Is the spouse, the computer geek
Her fingertips dance for virtual work.
She cages the idli sambar bowl
In the buzzing cooler.

Sorry I am
Your long tongued kin
See you some day man.
