He who Finds a Friend , Finds a a Treasure

Once again, back to a translation .... Well not exactly a perfect translation. Maybe we will call plagriased.

Friendship

Gulping food in haste
Catching a crowded bus

Hang on the footboard
Rush to the office

Escaping the growl of the boss and
Pestering of the colleagues

Clarifying a million doubts
For a buxom typist

And slide into the seat
To push pencil .... and

Lunchtime arrived

When I came close to the window
Opened the Lunchbox

Like always, peeped in the Baby squirrel.



The original is fairly old , about 2 decades maybe, wish the poet saw life today. These all are still there, but ... Only no space for the baby squirrel to peep in ...

Beautiful T.S. Just love this one. I can picture this actually, another humdrum day, catching the morning bus or the 9.15, rushing to the office and jostling with everyday chores, when suddenly life peeps at you. The moments of truth, the joy of small things. Thank you again.
