Food Wars
Just at the midnight ,
I woke up for the snack time ,
My little feet pressed on the floor ,
One by one and I moved on …
Mommy is sleeping … make no noise
If she wakes up, It’s again bedtime ,
Moving slowly with the giggly tummy ,
Tip-tap-top … brave knight moves on ;
Reached the kitchen, shelf’s like a star ,
My little hands can’t reach that far ,
Stood there for ample of time ;
How to grab that gold mine?
Then heard a noise in background ,
Who is it … Is it dad ?
What’s he doing in middle of the night ,
Am I in for a heinous crime ?
Eating chocolates alone is he? ,
I stood there with a frown in keep;
And then he turned and gave a look ,
I stood my ground …. man to man …. for food ;
My eyes went on to attack mode ,
Glared at him till he broke ,
Then finally I was called upon ,
For the bravery I put on ;
Two men sat on the round table ,
The manliness could break the heavens apart ,
Eating the chocolate piece by piece ,
And then started the food wars ;
The kitchen was now the battleground ,
Chocolates , candies , and pizza on stake ;
Now’s not the time to back down ,
But then heard a crackling sound ;
Lights went on and Medusa came along ,
Her stare made us freeze to stone ;
The two warriors with the fierce took ,
Changed to a mouse with a wimpy look ;
Two warriors defeated at a single stare ,
Now was the time for punishment ;
Then , mommy came close to me ,
Gave a kiss and I was free ;
My enemy was left alone to face her wrath ,
He was scared , I could feel that ;
Oh brave warrior, you will be remembered for the centuries that pass;
Dad faced mom wisely ,
Kept his head down silently ,
The lecture was never ending in terms ,
But then he said the magical words ;
He leaped on and hugged her tightly ,
Near to her ear, and said quietly ,
“I love you dear , please don’t be angry “
Mommy smiled and dad survived ;
Cleaned the entire place and went for sleep ,
The war ended quite peacefully ,
The goddess came and forgave us both ,
And tomorrow again, ready for food wars …
