Arousing early before the sun
With the call of a ****-a-doodle-do
From the lap of relishing morning sleep
Comes the milk man ringing
His bicycle bell
Like a frisbee comes flying
Newspaper by the paper boy
Rap of musical vessels performed
By the servant in the kitchen
Non-stop speech by my
Mother, the magistrate
My name being called thrice
For my presence in the court
Interrupting my mother's speech
Mischievous younger one
Eluding from brushing his teeth
Busy in his world of getting ready
My father to scoot like a silent cat
Enjoying the morning mess
My grandmother, laughing toothless
Resting in her easy chair !
