An Entertainment Without Fee.


I am fortunate.


monkeys playOn and off I am entertained

I do not buy tickets

I am fortunate enough

not a penny on tickets

sit at my patio long enough

behind the fastened gate

gaze at the tree opposite

the concert starts with a beat

the little one walks into the site

attempts a somersault  greet

his brother walks in merrily

incessant chatter from behind

the mother slowly moves in cheerfully

followed by the majestic father in a bind

all the four now hop and jump

the mother carries the baby in her pouch

the brother runs away from the sight

the father runs behind him as such

the baby cries for milk as he is hungry

mama feeds him then and there

sucking the baby goes to sleep peacefully

the father returns with the brother

screws up  his ears in  an admonition

the brother squeaks with pain and cries

with that the screen comes down

the players go back to the trees.

could anything be more entertaining?
