HazelnutsA Poem by Lakshmi Ramesh
Little brown hard hazelnuts
That's what woke me everyday Her soothing voice calling my name And handing me a bowl of evils Hate I did those weird looking things Those "healthy" nuts of irritation But dare I ever decline her offer I would be in deep trouble For years she made sure I had these browns For years, taking care of me in all ways And now, I find myself living apart From her love, care and remedies Now I wake up everyday Missing those bowl of nuts Now I wake up everyday Hoping she was here to scold Her long lectures on nutritious food I am definitely missing Her sneaky ways of making me eat healthy I am definitely craving If she sees this she should know Mom, I miss your hazelnuts If she reads this I'd like to tell her Mom call me everyday to remind me to have my nuts
