MY DAY   When the long weary day is over , We finally reach home and relax . We throw away our boots so heavy and on our feet we slip in slippers.     A cold shower wash away the dirt ; the dust and sweat of a long day through . Then I reach over for the remote ; what TV  program is on today ?     There are choices ; news , films or a play . Take any pick , it'll make your day ! Then I sail into another world .   The present is too boring .     Soon I  get up to cook dinner . I am helped by my sister, Meena .  Lots of food-stuff stocked in the freeze . I enjoy chopping , mincing and garnishing meat.     Next comes the part that makes me smile , when on the hot frying pan I  fry for a while With a quick stir ; I put in meat then vegetables . Sometimes I add ginger or pineapples .                                                                Dinner is a simple affair . No candles or roses for the table ; Because the electric light is so bright Illuminating the dark night .     All night long I watch my favorite  movie ; My eyes glued  to the TV Sometimes we have mood for a chit-chat .  We talk about this or that !     And at 10.30 , I went to bed . As soon as my head hit the pillow . I am off into the slumber land . I dream of what to do tomorrow .                                                                                               When at dawn the roosters are crowing , To announce a new day is dawned . The sun peeps over the horizon A new day is breaking.    Agatha  Lai 02
