Domestic Shades-25

Her resilience is like a danseuse Involved with elegant loyalty And that is the most I admire In every visit to my daughter's place Where her maid Dhanam, here I mean Has inspired by her mopping style Holding the stick gentle in firm grip Mopping determined in firm swabbing... And the sparkling floor charms Ever to follow Dhanam's style which when I was trying out In easy-done mood one day I felt an angry gaze at my back Which I knew from whom And a day later my tiny grand-daughter When did the same She too felt at her back an angry gaze Which she too knew from whom And still a day later Dhanam when began with her style The mop-stick on its turn stared At Dhanam's fiery grumblings Over its non-co-operation And she too felt behind an angry gaze Which all knew was my daughter's Meaningful in unuttered words Thrown on me pointed..'All because of you'
