May 2016
Mother stood in front of refrigerator
Scratching her head
Brother asked why?
Replied, “Where has the butter gone?”
Sister denied
Any wrong doing
Brother too claimed innocence
“There is one”
“Had two sticks left last night”
Father glares back
“Don’t look at me”
Sister sent to corner store
For another pound
Toddler being unbound
From high chair
Chords a giggle
Reaches for last stick
Mother shouts
“Kriiish-na!!!”
A modern take on a classic.
