Managing the house
on Sundays turns
a nightmare.
My staff compulsorily
go on leave on
Sundays.
My plea asking
them to alternate
the days goes unheard.
Assign Mondays for Krishna
tell Muthu to take leave
on Tuesdays, so with Swamy and Lal.
They do not accede.
It is Sundays. Right from
picking newspapers, milk,
and plucking flowers,
apart from cooking, cleaning,
locking, I have to do.
I wish to thrash
terminate their service ,
they being disobedient,
Sense prevails at the last
moment cautioning me to be
reasonable.
One day work, my mind tells me
will become the weeks toil
then months and years strain.
Which is better? The thought
frightens me, I shut my
mouth tight.
