Old & Young

I­’m very bored
This is a boring place
Cried the little boy
With a grumpy face

No dogs to chase,
Not a single drop of rain!
No cars, no cubes,
Nor a single toy train!

No friends to play with,
No songs to sing
Where is the telephone?
To give grandma a ring

I’m staring at the clock,
it needs a repair
Its hands are moving, but
they are going nowhere!

I’m very bored
Let’s go back to our place
This is no fun
Staring into blank space!!

What are you saying?
How can you be bored?
There is an entire world around you
Waiting to be explored!

Phones, tablets,
Laptops and other gadgets
None of them can tell you
All of life’s secrets

What do you do?
Why are you never bored?
Asked the boy to his dad
A little surprised!!

I like to travel
This travel through time
From one moment to another
I do it all the time!

I read the patterns
On the dry summer leaves
Fallen from these short
And tall lifeless trees

I try to stay still
And feel the earth move
And when I don’t feel a thing
I assume,
 It has stopped too!

I sit in a corner
And try to see air
I want to find out
If it is really there

Sometimes I try to
Listen to my heart
And all I hear
Is a rolling horse cart

I shut my brain
And observe and listen
And that has made my life
A lot more fun

You must try it too
To look at things around!
Excitement hides in them
Waiting to be found!
