Those Summer Days
the last days of exams and school,
and beginning of hot summer,
licking fresh ice lollies to cool,
eat mangoes without number!
no more reading no more homework,
all of the day is mine to spend,
under shady banian we perch,
till the heat fades and the day ends.
at night we sleep in the open,
on the first floor verandah bed,
and search amongst stars good omen,
and have gran all our fortunes read!
three hot months of fun, play and joy,
in peak heat of May, June, July,
those idyll days spent as a boy,
are here to haunt and make me cry!
