People Have Lost Sense

By evening five we started , Our christmas shopping activities. My wife on the lead, her purse full. Me appreciating her choices elegantly; Kevin, Andrea supporting my task , Our activities ended by nine. tired we, wanted to sit and relax, “How about a cool drink? “, my wife. “Yes, Yes, we should “, I replied. We walked in to a hotel, lights dim. Seated we happily, bearer so quick , “Four royal falooda “, my wife. “Da a jungle story”, my children At last, I got a lead role to play, I thought . “You know nothing to make these kids laugh”, my wife, She started narrating a jungle story with expressions! my children started listening, I too! Royal falooda came. I asked bearer not to disturb. We got in to our world, My wife,” Once upon a time a fox and a stork lived in a jungle”. I said, “might be near a lake” “Yes, yes”, my wife. “They were good friends. But the fox was very selfish”, my wife. “Could be like me”, I said. “Yes,yes”, my wife. My wife, “One day he thought of a plan to tease the stork”. “Could be like you”, I said. “Shut up Da”, my daughter. “The fox invited the stork for lunch”, my wife. “I know this story”, screamed my son! “Go ahead, go ahead”, my daughter. “The stork accepted his invitation happily- and reached on time for lunch”, my wife. “Poor stork”, I said. “Now the fox played a trick and presented - food in a very shallow plate”, my wife. “Poor stork”, I said. My wife, “The fox finished his food in no time but- the stork was not able to have his food at all”. “Poor stork”, I said. my son started laughing noisily! My daughter too joined him. I struggled badly to appease them. My son said, “Da, I too couldn’t have my falooda at all”. we were offered a small plastic spoon! falooda was in a narrow tall cup! We know not, but we were struggling I laughed at my wife. She was awe struck! I said coolly, “I never follow etiquettes", I threw the spoon and drank the whole falooda! My children followed me. My wife threw the spoon; screamed, “Idiot” She was firing the bearer. I was laughing silently. Nowadays people have lost sense! written on 15-12-2013 for the contest "Any poem #5" by Poet Destroyer A.
