The Train (Onward journey)

One highlight of our day is the local train
Its so convient , yet such a pain !!

He calls me every morning
Says come over soon ..
“Hurry !! Hurry !! Hurry !!
Or the rickshaw’ll move”

Out I dart, and over to his place,
1 sec away, but to me it’s a race,

Running from his house, to the bus stop on the road,
Bouncing along, are our heavy loads,

“Sharing Hai Bhaisabh ?”, to the ricks passing by,
(Finally!!) Our usual guy stops with a smiling hi,

“Whats the time ?” says he , as I look at my watch,
“Chill ray nut , 5 mins still left on the clock” ,

Jump outta the rick, and dart up the stairs,
Run Run Run !,-are our morning prayers,

We’ve reached the platform, its 8:48,
Find your compartment fast, or its gonna be late,

Jumped in at 8:50 , at :51 she starts,
Now search for our seat – (Oh our pounding hearts!!)

Sitting in the train, stare at things in out path,
People doing stuff, for their own morning start,

Half an hour up and the journey is over,
Ooops must have dozed off (thank god!!)no drool on my shoulder,

Step out of the train , greet each other again ,
Off to our jobs as the morning journey ends….
