The Adventurous Hunt
Tic-tic, hands moved in the clock,
I caught my breath with a deep lock.
Stepped out to see,
Its the time I glee.
Everyone is asleep and it's just dawn,
Door I shut slowly then I yawn.
I wore my slippers steady and fit,
To start a journey where I don't sit.
I opened my gate with a sigh,
Breathe the fresh air passed by.
The ambions was perfect I thought,
To walk a while before I get caught.
It would be bad if no mention bout cold air,
That blowed my white hair.
That's upon my bald surface,
Uncombed ; but now it's time to chase?
Chase what? I forgot
"where am I, which spot"
I wondered but that's alright
Cause a long walk made up my diet.
I could see the street dog,
Whose howl echo in the misty fog.
Beautiful creature who gave,
Sweet melodies with fly wave.
Now it morning and roasters cried,
All my energy is drained and died.
Since I was hungry too,
I walked in to see where to loo.
Shops were opened of clothes and toy,
Here, I see my news paper boy.
Beside me came a smell of masal chai,
I asked him a glass along a pie.
There my hand goes to the pocket,
To take the money from my wallet.
Oops! I forgot its in my house,
What shall I do in the chaos?
I interrupted the busy seller's situation,
And made him understand my condition.
He smiled and said " chacha don't worry,
Thats Okay ! Don't be sorry."
I regretted this time again,
But filled my hungry stomach that's in pain.
Now the streets were busy as before,
School lads and professional in every core.
I marched forward with my journey,
And saw my little bunny.
She called me her grandfather,
And herself granddaughter.
Beside her, I saw my wife,
Full of temper like the knife.
I smiled and asked" What's the matter",
She hugged me then she shattered.
