Will
Golden fries on the platter
Tasty aroma drifting
Sagged moods lifting
Here comes the stuffed turkey!
Blood red sauce- gourmets delight
Sunday dinner at the home
Will the food end the family's plight?
The platters are licked clean
Younger children leave the dining room
Tomorrow oldman's Will shall be unsealed
In it everyone's fate is concealed
Low-toned discussions over cups of coffee scalding
Isn't it stressful for those who are almost balding?
Old grandpa loved the whole family
What then made him favour the girl Emily?
The neighbour's dull daughter.. lame in one leg
Her parents thinking of putting her to beg !
In a humble shanty lived the lame girl
The Will names her a "Silver Pearl"
The lawyer read the Will aloud
Three long pages written a month ago
Bound to hurt his family's ego
To Emily he gave all the money he had saved
Unexpected !!! .. the startling revealation
Old man didn't get respect from next generation!
