Picnic Poem by Nassy Fesharaki

Picnic

"Let's make the best of time…"
-said mother, to the child:
- "…we will have a picnic,
-right here on floor,
-and on the furniture! "

"And our food? "
-kid questioned.

"As you wish, you order."

"Can I ask for pizza? "

"And why not? "

With mother's politics
-they ate and played games.

Lot of thanks to brain,
-with which she
-could hide their poverty;
-and absence of father.

I witnessed and enjoyed
-more than being jealous.
