A trayful of memories
The tray packed with dates arrived
and one look at the tray
brought back memories of
sparkling n' mischievous eyes...
of eyes waiting impatiently
for many many days,
eager for the batch of seeds to sprout.
One bright, sunny morning,
when the sunflowers
were nodding their cheery hellos,
cajoling the sun to turn their way,
a pair of sandal clad, little feet
dashed into the garden,
over the soft and dewy grass,
beneath the canopy of the orange tree
to have a look,
with eyes posing the question...
'Will today be the day?'
Sudden screams
and an agitated childish voice
had me stumped for a minute.
'Oh no!'
'So scary!'
'Go away you nasty creatures!'
'Who is the mischief maker?'
'Who spoilt my little garden?'
'I thought it would look beautiful!'
'Where did the tentacles come from?'
One look at the tray,
had me trying hard
to control my laughter.
A little explanation,
followed by a closer look
ended with a...
Oh wow!
How strange!!
