Distressed In A Mess!

Distressed in a mess
Emotionally stressed
Bedraggled, lonesome
Dreadfully depressed

.......what have we here
The maid did exclaim
You are very wealthy
Honoured is your name

Quickly come in
Before The Village people become aware
Of The Real Reasons
Why you have come here

........Á privileged lady!
Manu called her by name
"For you to come undercover
Are you hiding some shame"

.......Oh no, she retorted
All is well in my home
The maid and the Gardner
Their devotion is well known

The crops are blossoming
The cows devour green grass
Their is milk in the vat
For nothing more do I ask

.......She sat beside Manu
Her head bowed low
Just what is it
That I still don't know?

.......Then a serious bang
The police at the door?
She was a little startled
Had she broken The Law?

They unwrapped a scroll
Read it aloud
It was an apology
From a rather large crowd

......."We have realised
We failed to show you respect
Seldom came to visit you
You must of felt our neglect"

.........Suddenly
The sky turned grey
They raised their umbrellas
Their kindness was on display

During the storm
They ushered her back to her home
To a remorseful family
....Now no longer on her own !!!
