Love Poem: Home, Home, Home!

Home, Home, Home!

Home is where, 
at the close of a most gruelling day,
you can peel off from your weary feet 
your soggy socks;

and, for not wearing a hat in the rain, 
you get caringly scolded
by your worried but now 
reassured wife; 

and you get knocked 
and pinnned down on the frayed couch 
by a bunch of laughing 
and giggling kids 

who once again 
go through the playful ritual of piling 
themselves up on an immobilized, 
grinning you;

and you get a glimpse,
through the kitchen screen door 
that badly needs repair,
of a joyfully wagging tail !
