The Nibbler

On By Veera

Hey all! I’m back with my next quadrille.Enjoy!

Oh hello,Mr. Nibbler!
What have we today?
You trying to steal savories
Or nibble away at my cakes?

I’d love to feed you
Some special treats,
If only there were any
Rendered a meal complete.

My breakfast,I present,
I hope you’re content.

-The Forgers of Fantasy

I wrote this a bit while back,relating vaguely to some kids I had encountered once while travelling, who simply wouldn’t stop asking their mother for more and more toys and sweets,and ended up almost exhausting her money. When I thought of it again, I found it funny that I too,had once done the same, and I’m glad I’ve grown up!

P.S: This has been penned for DVerse, where poets were asked to write quadrilles using any form of the word nibble. You can access the prompt at https://dversepoets.com/2022/02/07/quadrille-145/ .
