Granny's Sweet

May 12, 2014

We made a plan
to steal the sweets she made
and stored in the box inside a room.
while she was sleeping in her bed.

We were anxious and afraid,
Mouth watering sweets on one side;
while there were scolding on other
from her  and we had to hide!

However, I went inside,
                                            while my brother stood to check at door.
                                            Soundless, I opened the box,
                                            Took out sweets, tasted, and held even more.

                                            He locked the door,
                                            and we ran up to the terrace.
                                           With oily hands, we ate gradually,
                                           laughing and looking each other's face.

                                            Maybe we stole a bit more,
                                            More enough even for next day.
                                            Now we had to store them safe,
                                            Packing them, we hid under the hay.

                                          When she woke up,
                                          She entered into the room.
                                          She stayed there pretty late,
                                          We felt sweats, though it was not noon.

                                         After while, she was out,
                                         we were peeping from the window lane.
                                         She looked worried,
                                         and we could feel the pain.

                                       We tried to get away from her,
                                       But had to face her when she made a call.
                                       It was to wash an apple anyway,
                                       We bowed down, and she was tall.

                                      We were back to normal then,
                                      She should have known we stole her sweets,
                                       because she again cooked it after a day,
                                      and we concluded: our granny is sweet!
