HELMET
On the wall he placed his helmet
as always ,when about to start
his bike ,for his office.
One evening,he lost it.
Panicked,searched everywhere,asked
everyone he knew,but no one
knows what happened .
Later,he realised he lost his helmet.
Blamed few and person who took it
but ...........................
not his carelessness.
He managed without it,
but ...........................
he needed it as it was his safety.
He did get one,not new
but borrowed from his friend.
As usual he goes to office,
wearing his new worn-helmet.
Before starting the bike,he places
the helmet at the same spot
where he lost his father’s helmet
and drives away ..................
