THE LESSON By David Kamau
The days too eventually fell silent,
No sounds, not even by the crows,
All you could hear was the sound of,
Fear knocking on the doors,
And then we got safety tips,
How to survive the scourge:
Wash hands with soap-water
Sanitize yourself every and all times.

Religiously upholding the wisdom,
I bought and placed
The sanitizer liquid
On the table;
Your table -
So all can easily access
And sanitize their hands
Every and all the time
During Covid-19 lockdown.

But you got angry,
And with a rage -
You thought, hard,
A fitting revenge
Against me -
I had made dirty
Your tidy table.

As the day ended,
You decided:
You placed the sanitizer liquid
On our family computer-keyboard -
To teach me
An unforgettable lesson
As the queen in this queendom.

To prove your words -
"Am the revenging type."

This here is the feedback
To show you I have learnt,
The lesson you well planned,
The lesson you well taught.
I now do understand
"Lockdown" and "lock-up"
The former is wife-custody
The latter is police-custody.

I now hope you are satisfied
With the achieved objective
I guess it's a nine over ten
If not a ten over ten.
