Our Dinning Table Round by Hidentity(m): 1:54pm On Feb 28, 2015 |
Our dining table round It brings us around and bound Seats not far from the centre reach Six beautiful chairs, one for each A table cloth to cover and adorn It was colourful though one side torn Our dining table smooth veneer Carefully protected at least for a year Red rose flower in the middle placed Dad and Mum sat opposite faced On the plateau of our dining table Showed Daddy’s pocket was stable Sugar, milk, chocolate, bread, custard butter, fruits, peanuts and salad We ate well and lived good Watched cartoons of Robinson wood We grew faster and soon were old Then we saw everything go cold First to vanish from our table was custard Sarah didn't like it, she became blustered Dad said our school fees had gone high So Mum compensated with our chicken thigh As days passed, so did our salad and fruits No more cartoons, GTV showed a man with his flute Mum forced us to join her fasting No more breakfast,water was lasting We grew older to a naked table Which was ripped off its cloth We saw how the family unstable And its veneer destroyed by moth Today its broken and parked backyard I smiled at it and kissed it back hard Contents here are exclusively the intellectual properties of different contributors at the Theater of Perspectives.
