I made paper boats



Playing in the water after the rains
for me, was the most enjoyable event.
Jumping in the water was a great fun
as swam in ponds only in rainy season.

No swimming pool was in the vicinity
Only in rains could get water, plenty.
I used to make paper boats, in childhood
and placed to sail in the water pools.

Sometimes I thought, seeing the boat bare,
it may be more fun, if there’s a passenger.
At times used to pick a big ant and put on board.
Don’t know how many, but were left to sail alone;

I considered that the ant was enjoying the voyage 
like we are passionate of surfing in the lake.
Didn’t know, in the vast ocean what was his fate
how many days would he long to find the bank.

Perhaps, he must have felt like Noah, staying in the ark
and waiting the waters of flood to be parched.
