A Lost Ring
Beautiful daughter of my village President,
Was presented by her father gift very precious;
(Twenty grams of gold with diamond-stones content),
Gorgeous-looking with fine red-sapphire-strip, gracious...!
Merry, the girl went, exposing it to all,
Father felt proud, though mother grew a bit skeptic;
It's then, on her face, soon a cloud of gloom did fall,
Hearing the story father grew like dyspeptic...!
Pond, she said; while bathing; whole water they pumped out;
To the utter surprise of all, no ring they got;
Mother, guessing daughter's ways, got many a doubt,
Shut her mouth, as she did not know the exact plot...!
On finger of neighbor-boy, the ring someone found,
Before the whole town knew, both eloped, safe-and-sound...!!!
