Morning In Our Family Poem by Daniel Trevelyn Joseph

Morning in our Family

“Ok, bye Daddy, I’m going”
Floats across the drawing room
From my daughter, dressed in sari.

Blue and greed are SCB colours,
Where she works for last 12 years,
Now looks like a walking Bank!

Very few MBAs stick to same job
Greed impels them, and fear of stagnating,
She is of a different breed!

Money doesn’t matter much to her
She spends freely; gives generously;
Saves minimum; behaves like a non-MBA.

My wife is on the other sofa,
Talking to Zorro and the other cats
By turn, but fond and proud of her daughter.

Joti leaves early in the morning to Bank
Via Gym in Churchgate, and she and wife
Reach back home only after 9 o’clock.

I go to office in the morning, in past
After going to gym or swim or both,
But not now for I seem to overexercise.
