Back Then
Life was so easy BACK THEN
When momma rouse us from sleep
And for a ride, father waited outside
Starting grandfathers old jeep
And grandmother placed a bet
That if my sister or I will run like a jet
And whoever drinks the milk first
Will get oreos and pie's crust
And my sister stole my band and pony
And undone the clothing of my doll, Molly.
Then I ran to my momma's room
And cried my heart out and lightened doom
She ran upstairs and slapped her hard
Then she acted all like a retard
And my brother, his entry ofcourse
He used to fill his trolley in general stores
With sublime gadgets and torches and cells
And would crack my flowers and seep shells
Now we have grown so old
Didn't know that how soon our lives will mould
Those bed time stories are now tomorrow's schedule
Wakes us up for meeting, phone's alarm bell
And our trips to park are now business travels
Wasn't it too early to jump into this hell?
We have grown old now, there's no going back
Life begins when the egg cracks
But we just take long time to start
Thanks to our lovely parents who granted an amazing childhood to us
Whose life since the beginning is a fuss are poor orphans!
