Forgets the Umbrella

A sunset 
With the sky pouring 
You see fascinating umbrellas all around ...
Will you doubt me , 
Something different 
   caught ma sight 

Running through the street 
   with the school bag on his head 
Raindrops sprinkling on his Tshirt 
Street mud splashing over his sandals 
He sneaked under a shop roof 
    looking wet himself 
Wearing the smirk on the face 
He ran his fingers through his hair 
   And ... Ow wait 

How did I go senseless 
Ha, and here I am , 
Scribbling in a paper 
Thinking of a stranger 
Who forgets the umbrella on a rainy day 
    Funny isn't it ?
