We all had planned to go for a picnic
out of these places we had to pick
The amusement park at Khelghara
or the lush green valleys of Harabhara
To harabhara we decided to go
all the schoolmates; friend or foe
In a luxurious bus we all did travel
through sand clay and gravel
We saw a little boy wave at us
desperately trying to stop our bus
With pleading eyes he asked for a lift
we decided to grant him this gift
He was in rags, hungry and poor
my friends said ‘he belongs to a sewer’
He was undeterred by such comments
alas, he had faced infinite such moments
We soon reached our final destination
much to our heart’s joy and elation
The splendid valley took our breath away
we ate our food, had dance and play
Then came the time to say goodbye
we couldn’t find the little boy
my friends said we lost him for good
Then we caught a glimpse of him,
Eating our leftover food...........:-(
