Dawn burns the midnight oil
As she mixes words and toils
Scratching her head and hair she coils
A love story that none should spoil.
I read the flow of the simple words
Only my eyes moved - no sound was heard
And slowly for the climax I did gear
When the story changed just as I feared.
The kitchen seemed suddenly very small
As my kudi turned and bumped into a wall
What was it she thought in the dim light
It certainly had given her a big big fright.
She raised her eyes in horror and dread
It wasn't a wall, it was a chest instead
No shirt on, she looked agape
What was this --- a hairy APE?
She took a deep breath and screamed, "Scoot"
She picked up the broom to shoo the bandicoot
The awful creature quickly scuttled away
No wonder my kudi's nerves were frayed
She felt every pore in her body recoil
And her blood slowly came to a boil
She had to think hard on how to spoil
His plot that she had to firmly foil.
The night flew away and Dawn broke
From her slumber Joey slowly awoke
The air was misty and Dewy was the grass
What dreamers these three were ----- Alas !!
