I Sail Boat

As drops from the clouds cease,
I stroll to meet a friend of mine
a paper boat in hand, a local boy
runs from the PDS shop queue, 
looks for water to sail his boat,
tried in a small dirty puddle,
embarrassed to see,the boat stay still!
tried in the nearby ditch, already choked!
Cursed heavens, a way out of embarrassment!
Looked around little boy, my gaze, he dislikes!
fellow doesn’t want others follow his passion!
I started walking away poker faced, 
Fellow jumped with a smile believing
I know not his embarrassment, got into
his fantasy world to try another fun….

Love your keen sense of observation here Jenish...This brings back fond memories as well...As youngsters we used to catch Salamanders and Newts, place them in a fallen maple leaf and give them a nice little boat ride...believe it or not, they seemed to enjoy it! - Tim
