DINNER

 

DINNER

 

 

Industrious lives, families fond,

Brothers and family, like a bond,

Single sweet home business fit,

Reach brothers time midnight, (1)

 

Tired day long, hardship, works trail,

Prosperous lives, luck prevail,

Children a few dozen growing,

From babies to adults glowing, (2)

 

Studious, disciplined, customs,

Dinner time at the table, systems,

Discussions warm with elders,

Questions reply kid shoulders, (3)

 

Women elderly listen, attentive,

Children, their study tentative,

Long are the dining table chairs,

Families sit together and share, (4)

 

Family problem solutions rise,

Argument clues, precise prizes,

Unity visible at dinner time lit,

Happiness, love, care to delight, (5)

 

Principle observed by families,

Dinner time adds eventualities,

Dairy foods, bread, curry, sweets,

Milk medicines for elder greets, (6)

 

After the children and elders disperse,

Back to their rooms, of course,

One pendulum watch indicates,

The house several floors relate, (7)

 

Sleeping hours strict stay,

Children study late at night way,

Scolded often to disobey rules,

Escape route homework mules, (viii)

 

The table, clean, shining, chairs,

It is a long dining room admired,

Years worth watching dinners,

Love a big joint family winners, (9)

 

The ecstasy inspiration litters,

Time changed gradually, filters,

A child grown up spreads wings,

One by one, left home evenings, (10)

 

 

Twilight years brothers realize,

Children spread far flung wise,

Established had their nest wit,

The joint family collapsed feat, (11)

 

Son, his wife, a child threesome,

Daughter, her hubby, kid home,

The sight of long table dinners,

Devastate urban lives winners, (12)

 

I, me, mine, cumulative to last,

Joint families ghost of the past,

The pressure of job, career, busy life,

Visit parent impossible a strife, (13)

 

Brothers are living in an empty home,

Dinner time, scarcely welcome,

Hunting sight missing children,

The noise interactions, shaken, (14)

 

Silent midnight pendulum ring,

Dinner attendance broken wing,

Transformative years paradigm,

Changes dinner table time sign. (15)
