Women her age should not be going out
Sarojini had no clue what the hullabaloo was about.
Someone had to step out and run the house
What could she do if her presence made society arouse!
Frederick was still loitering around at the end of her lane
She replied to his stare with one filled with disdain.
Muttering about the rising costs of essentials in her bag
Doing the single woman walk to avoid trouble - the zig zag.
Frederick was still loitering around at the end of her lane
She replied to his stare with one filled with disdain.
In a split second, she tripped on a loose stone and into the gutter,
She watched as her bag emptied onto the street setting her heart aflutter.
Frederick called Jeetu and the boys, she could hear them crowd.
She could sense danger - clear and loud.
"Why did you step out" and "we told you so."
In desperation, she picked up a twig incase they had a go.
They soon scampered away howling away in excitement
Her confidence in their arrogance probably had put a dent.
The fall had really taken a toll on her frail bones
There was no one to call for help - neither by shouting nor thru cell phones
She could hear those dogs come back to hound
"They wagged their tails and pulled me along to see something they had found."
The neighbourhood grocer pulled her out and took her home.
Frederick was still loitering around at the end of her lane
This time from giving him a big smile and some biscuits she couldn't refrain.
"O Mrs Sarojini, for any needs, you should give me a shout!
Women your age, alone should not be going out."
