Always busy

   Winter days have arrived here
   sun now sleeps longer in heaven
   birds rest in  cozy nest longer.
   No school bus now blows horns
  sweet little children sleep longer.
  A park below is always full of life
  Morning dew drops, or are they pearls
  Early walkers march over relentlessly.
  Yoga trainees loudly laugh ha ha ha ha;
    Old women in a corner, busy in  gossip
    Old men  engrossed in news  and  politics
    A   corner is booked for religious talks
    religious  songs reverberate in the park.
    As  they disperse maids appear with kids
     in their pram, ma'am is always  a topic.
    Social workers, small time politicians
    make an effort to oblige the strangers.
  Not for even a moment the park is alone
 aimless urchins roam leisurely and freely.
  Vagabond, lying in a corner playing flute.  
 Monkey man calls kids for a monkey show
When no one comes he and friend take nap 
   Dogs, cows  have good sleep the whole day.

  3. ... surely some of this can happen - but all at once? Probably not.
