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.
