My daughter is shelling green peas
and plump in the middle
a lady's finger squats, smiling.
The children are quite serious about it
pondering on how to gobble the crunchy vegetable;
just then it lands up somewhere on the table.
Now it is their turn to caution me;
good it turned out be a green thingy.
What if it had been an uncle crab?

i especially like the title.
the narrative flow is smooth, yet inventive.
good poem.

I was feeling ashamed of this poem.Every night I wanted to delete it.Who writes about vegetables,now a days?But my 'poet mind' makes up images while doing the household chores.So I have learnt a lesson today.What you think should be trashed need not necessarily be mundane to the reader with a sense of humour.
Thanks for just being there.
