The Bird and The Crumb.

"All play and no work
Makes not only Jack
But Jhansi also
A dull girl"-


This was my mother
Complaining about me not studying,
About which I never bother.


To satisfy her
And also because
Her scoldings I fear,
Taking my favourite book
I sat down by the window sill.


The world around was still;
But of course not silent.


From somewhere came a crow
With a crumb in its beak.

Perching on the roof,
Pecking at the crumb,
Checking for some danger.


How surprised I was!

I have always heard,
Crows share their meals.

But today-?!


I complained to my father.
He said-
"Times have changed".
