All the answers,
I asked for a new pen,
If you lose this one
You will write with your finger.
Once I asked mum,
Let's have dinner somewhere out,
She put my plate out on the doorstep,
Enjoy your dinner.
I was in a negative mood that day,
Refused to eat rice and curry,
Demanded pizza,,
Good you are going to share your food,
The birds are hungry,
They will enjoy your meal,
And your dad can have the extra portion of your curry,
I am proud of you.
If dad had to punish or ground us,
Silently she made sure he had done the needful,
Or he was grounded from entering their bedroom.
Mum was a woman of few words and lots of action.
