You Live On
Of two little princes
Riding on their horses
Serpent studded with a jewel
Of mermaids deep under water
And magical lunch boxes
That gave one what he tells
Of a fat li'l fellow
Spoilt by his mother
His bag full of laddoos
And a monkey for a brother
Of two different boys
One good and one bad
One read the books
Other tore ones he had
Of moon chariots
And parties on the clouds
Of learning lessons
And making your parents proud
Of thumb sized husbands
Who travelled in wive's wallets
And thumb sized wives
Who sat in shirt pockets.
Who says you have gone
My dear Father?
You very much live on
In stories that you told us
Now I pass them to my son.
For My DAD. On his 75th birthday.
