An Old shovel
Contest by John Lawless
Me an Old Shovel
Me an old shovel to revel
in past, while in the young age
being bold bright sharp and shiny
smoothly polished !
Now my skill is abolished.
I am dull and blunt,
unable to give any stunt !
Since last fifteen years I have given service,
by digging ground to maintain the garden,
now of no use as me turned a burden.
Yet my owner still tried to use me
again and again but in vain and then
new shovel is bought.
I am standing idle
abandoned at one corner of the garden !
Every stuff which has been initiated,
whether living or so-called non-living,
there must be an expiry date to work .
Nothing is ever lasting but is destined to last
within limited period.
