Under Teens

by Jayati Gupta

Ice creams, chocolate, nuts, chips, cold drinks
Sure is tastier than monotonous homemade
Fish, rice, lentil, veggies-

Dig in mom's bag
Dress in pink, wear lipstick, her
Scarf and hairclips-

Non-stop TV cartoons,
Cut paper with scissors into bits,
Make weird shapes.

Enjoy P.T. in school, and games
Tell tales numerous
Thus, avoid canes to save face.

Crosswords, computer paintings,
Quarrel now and then with classmates
Over rubber, pen and pencils-

Chat at school gate
Choose, school bus last seats
Noisy karaoke sessions win in competitions.

Buy colorful displays
Crepe papers, adventure stories, all these
Prefer more than math, exams, and tedious studies.
