History of a Story
On a very stormy day,
During summer holiday,
Three little friends
got together to spend
A day in-doors,
To while away their time!
They said they would write
the story of their lives.
And they would call
Their life story
An Autobiography!
Said one with a doubt
Rubbing his red snout,
An autobiography is about one,
But we are three!
Why not just
call it a biography?
That sounded right
till someone bright
said “a biography,
is a very long story,
But we have not
much to comment!
Our ages are about
Eight, nine and Ten!
The one aged nine,
who had a class in
sex education,
thought it should be biology!
A ripple of giggle went around,
his words rang a naughty sound!
“here we all are and lives begun,
Because our parents had fun,
So biology not biography!”
The youngest didn’t agree,
He said biology is about tree,
Frogs, worms things you can’t see,
We are none of these!
So biology was not it!
They then tried other subjects,
Physics, Chemistry and
even mathematics?
They were close but not right!
Then they said the title
Of their story should be history!
This was unanimously agreed!
History! As it all happened in the past!
But the future they would now write
With the pen of their own lives,
Then it would no longer be a mystery!
The storm stopped,
The sun came out!
That story was never written!!
