Daily Prompt : Rush

In response to one-word prompt : Rush

Oxford Street !

There is a street named, Oxford Street,

The pedestrians there over-use their feet.

They’re always in a rush, I know not why,

They seem lifeless robots who cannot sigh.

Each time I want to say, ‘Haste makes waste,

Watch , go slower, or you’d have a bitter taste.’

Still their crazy feet only wants  to hurry,

I look, I watch, I say , why should I worry!

Daily Prompt : Quicken

In response to daily post’s one-word prompt : Quicken

I remember my mom  could cook  several dishes in one hour . I was fascinated and wondered how she managed to cook the food so fast. I only thought about it and failed to ask her what was her secret.

One day my younger brother rushed into the kitchen and said, “I’m hungry Mom I want to eat now.”

My mom looked at him and replied, ‘I can be afraid of you, but the stove is not, so even if you scream and tell me to hurry up, the stove will take it’s time.’

I don’t know how long it took  me. She was one person whom I could not get rid of fast enough.
