Amidst the foggy winter
behind the clouds with no rising wither
All were asleep
when Vakula was woken up like a Beep
Her mother was in front of her
She looked like a sick bear with no fur
"Don't you dare sleep again" Her mother behests
"But Amma! I never woke up so early for no gain!" She says
All nice and clean again
Ranganatha must praise her cleanliness on her every grain
"What are you doing? Come into this place
It is your destiny" She placed
She couldn't see what she was witnessing
A whole kitchen of mess
Garbage of peels here and there
Pile of utensils drooling away
All the Sink filled with dirt
All around the chulha filled with ashes.
All aboard her cleaning pile
Her disgust was also a mess
"Amma who robbed your kitchen? "
She asked like a detective
"Why would I clean this place"
She negotiated
"What would you expect your husband to eat
Water and hopscotch?" She repeated
She was very angry on her mother this time
"I am not marrying my Husband" She declared
This isn't going like how she wanted
These are not what she wanted to learn in gurukul
Anyways what the heck
Learning is learning
Some peels rotted
Some ashes yet burning
Some Utensils so hard
some vegetables so bad
Her mother did not give up on her
Her Utensils were expected to look like silverware
Her Chulha as white as Tupperware
Her vegetables as pure as her heart
Cleaning takes so long
Now she really does not want a husband
and fire was burning as of she was on hell
"That chulha requires a lot of air" Her mother belled
Uff....Uff....Puff.....Puff......
She blew fire for warming up her food
a stranded pipe she did not like
She blew air for that no Balloon air balloon
The utensils were so heavy
She was just a young girl sweet as honey
She could not lift up her finger on it
But,Her mother was so strict about it
Finally everything was cleaned up
Everything was cooked up
When she tries to turn back to that morning
That kitchen makes her mood a real mess
