Paperwala — a Vendor

A newspaper vendor wander every morning, To our doorsteps and different newspapers He drops through all thick and thins Rainy days or winter haze He arrives on his motor bike!

A newspaper vendor wander every morning,


To our doorsteps and different newspapers


He drops through all thick and thins


Rainy days or winter haze


He arrives on his motor bike!


With a huge grin on his chin!!


One morning, I asked him:


How far he comes from?


He smiled to pass a reply-

KMC's floral vendor management sets a positive trend


Says he wakes up early dawn


and collects his stacks of papers from his dealer,


Then his journey begins all the way long through


Shantinagar, Baneswore, Koteswore, Gwarko to Lalitpur- Dhapakhel,


Where I live and would have return home by eleven each morning.


 


In rainy days, he comes wearing a large rain-coat,


Making it a drain for the rain covering his stuff


But, he doesn't forget his grin


He is so conscious that the paper would go waste.


So, he honks his horn to call us


Or simply looks a place  where he can hide it.


For me, he is not just a Paperwala,


But a perfect Messiah,


As he bring knowledge, Source of information


Without any regression, to make us enlighten!


And so, when sometimes I meet him,


He greets-'Morning  Sir!'


I salute him silently with due respect


In my heart for his favor!!!
