The last tributes.



The last tributes.

The boy had a pet.
It was a good breed of dog.
The boy had a good friendship,
rather than mastership.

Everyday when the boy returned home,
after playing football.
The dog rushed to him like a gale
and wagged its tail.

Oneday the boy went to play.
He was hurt severely  
and succumbed to death.
In the field he took his last breath.

Nay,it was not the boy,
but it was his dead body,
reached at home.
The ambience was gruesome.

On that day the dog stepped,
 to the deadbody slowly,
Sniffed it
and laid besides it.

Then few drops of tear
fell on the floor,
From its eyes,
as if,it paid its last tributes.
