A QUIET AFTERNOON

I lay on the sofa gazing from my window-
Resting my head on a pillow,
Hearing the sweet and swift breeze-
With the rustling leaves on the trees.

Here comes the pair of sparrows, chirping-
And I spot a cat lurking,
The foolish cat jumped in, 
Only to return with nothin’-

The cool air was relaxing,
It seemed everything outside was dancing-
The quiet time faded with crows cawing-
From the window, I saw a monkey gnawing.

Annoyed, I tried to shoo the monkey,
With a stony piece that was chunky,
Soon the monkey returned- 
And with the monkey, the quiet afternoon too returned…
