The Stay Order Poem by Akhtar Jawad

The Stay Order

Rating: 5.0


I wanted to leave Islamabad and go back to Karachi,
my grandson was insisting me to stay here till his birthday,
I suggested a balloting on the issue.
I wrote on a piece of paper,
he also wrote on another piece of paper.
My youngest granddaughter picked one of the two.
"Stay."
I immediately picked the two and thrown it in the dust bin.
In joy nobody could mind the handwriting!
Now I have no alternate but to follow the stay order.

A grandfather obeying stay order given by grandson is definitely interesting. Grandchildren love their grandfather very much and they do not want to leave at all. They have deep affection for grandpa. Wonderful poem is well expressed...10
