In your age, my child,
Even I told the cutest of lies.
Such an imaginative kid I was,
I realize that it has been my forte.
One day, I stood on the balcony,
It was 1993 and I was so young.
I was not even 3 years of age,
I urinated there in the balcony!
My mother remembers it sharply,
She always tells me elaborately.
She was there as dad scolded badly,
"Why did you *** in the balcony?"
I was so young,
But not at all naïve.
I was artless,
But also naughty.
I live inside a research campus,
National Dairy Research Institute.
And here has been a cattle yard,
My father had shown me the cows.
So whatever came to my mind,
I just denied having peed there.
"I haven't peed here, daddy,"
"Who peed then?"
I said, "A cow did that, daddy,"
And I blamed a cow for my doing!
"How did it get here, did it fly?"
My dad asked the toddler I was.
I just nodded my head,
My father was amazed.
He looked surprised,
And my mother just laughed.
She said,
*"Darling, I love your sweet little lies!"
A poem for my fictional future child.
And for my dear loving parents.
