Time was away and somewhere else
When the hot afternoon sun was bright and beating
When the bigger children were at a light siesta resting
The street dog with its tongue salivating
Lying in the shade of the lonely mango tree, waiting
Time was away and somewhere else
When the mangoes were orange, ripe and inviting
An unread comic, lay awaiting
The neighbour's kid never tired of meeting
Unexplored toys and garden paths in waiting
Time was away and somewhere else
When the ice cream vendor with a dry parched call
Said it with a loud writing on the "Wall"
The familiar clamor of his cycle bell
Easily spoke volumes on the favourite icecream to sell
Time was away and somewhere else
No game could match it, be it on IBM or Dell
Those lovely times that we wished for so well
Alas, these days we can only dwell
On those innocent times, and the heart just swells

Poem: Summer holiday #1
Not everybody's on a summer holiday
Doing things they always wanted to
So "let go" on a summer holiday
This my heart says is is true
We'll go where the sun shines brightly
We'll go where the sea is blue
We'll go tr-la-la-la-laa-la
Lets see if its true, eh?
Not everybody's on a summer holiday
Doing things they always wanted to
So "let go" on a summer holiday
This my heart says is is true
Doing things they always wanted to
So "let go" on a summer holiday
This my heart says is is true
We'll go where the sun shines brightly
We'll go where the sea is blue
We'll go tr-la-la-la-laa-la
Lets see if its true, eh?
Not everybody's on a summer holiday
Doing things they always wanted to
So "let go" on a summer holiday
This my heart says is is true
