Childish Pride

When I was a child, I had a red Mercedes, They say; A boy’s toy Always will be a car or a gun! But as a boy I preferred A car to run!

When I was a child,


I had a red Mercedes,


They say;


A boy’s toy


Always will be a car or a gun!


But as a boy


I preferred


A car to run!


 


My favourite red


Mercedes was given to my cousin


And I wept


For a return kept


Then I was handed a twelve seater bus!!

I use to run it


Considering nooks of room


To be different


Junctions to my


Imagined passengers


The pleasure of playingwith vehicle toy


Was an infinite joy.


 


Later,


As I grew younger,


I had a collection of


Ford T models,


Fancy Sports cars


Of which the doors can be opened


That made


My childish joy


Double elevated!!


 


Now,


I wonder


Where have those


Playthings vanished?


Because I don’t


Even enjoy the real SUV ride,


More than my


Little juvenile pride!!!
