IF MOTHER GOES ON STRIKE…..

IF MOTHER GOES ON STRIKE…..


A moment here, a moment there
She always finds work everywhere

From morning five to night at ten
Wasting her time you have seen her when

Attending us & attending the guest
She has no time to relax & rest

She has no choice, she has no mood
Washing clothes, utensils & cooking food

Goes on & on & on the list
From here the story takes atwist

I dread the day when she went on strike
Just as few workers do for a wage hike

I felt my whole world went up & down
The dirtiest, filthiest & shabbiest house was ours in town

No one to run behind us & take our care
Now I felt all her arguments were fair

Mother being a mother still
Could no longer keep her strike as per her will

I said, ‘ O Mom take this stick & me you whack
But please O Mom you come back

Here I do, I do confess
Without you our life is a mess

I will do whatever you l;ike
But never again do you go on strike.
