I was frightened and astonished when cried for wolf
Wife whispered in ears few lines of song
I couldn’t think what went wrong
Before sleep it was sweet fight
Mind was preoccupied with dead night
So many thoughts crossed the mind
Sudden break off light was seemingly unkind
May be it was unexpected and all of sudden
Not easy to skip off when worries are laden
Loud sound may wake you up unaware
All thought may appear as shining flare
I could not laugh at silly exposure
It proved me as coward and unsure
What could I do in difficult situation?
This put me in difficult and awkward position
This clearly speaks the state of mind
This sudden shock is not something new find
It happens when one is not well prepared
Position as such shouldn’t and can’t be compared
Everybody laughed at my uneasy calm
I felt amused as descended from the high tree palm
Though it was not matter of joke
Every body laughed at and unnecessary poke
I too realized many implications
It was raising doubts and complications
Wife too was at pain to explain
Many days she had to hide and indoor remain
Nothing more could be done except to laugh
Wife handled it well as my better half
I too put a good show and brave front
Agony , shame jokes and bore the brunt ...
