My three year old grandson is coming from England;
This generates in me waves of excitement and happiness,
As I see him after agonisingly long wait.
Hurriedly and meticulously I plan,
To amuse him during his sojourn.
I ‘ll take him to places around,
Tell him stories from the Hindu mythology, abound;
Oh, come my grandson,
I am here, waiting and longing
To share my love with you,
To play with you like a child;
(Never mind my declining age, please!)
To buy loads of toys and
Scoops and scoops of ice-cream for you.
** ** **
And finally you arrive,
My joy knows no bound;
Ready to spend my ‘life time’ with you.
Suddenly I realize there is something amiss,
Oh! We are unable to communicate.
I hardly understand your
Heavily accented British English,
Nor you are comfortable with my ‘englibish’.
How sad, there is insuperable barrier in between us!
Whatever you say, I simply nod like dumb cattle,
All my hopes to share my love crashed,
And my dream castle shattered into pieces.
We are worlds apart, I painfully realise
Our relation is for name sake,
In reality, it never existed.
Oh my dear grandson,
Thou’ you share my blood and genes,
How sad I am to say, you are an alien.
