I
was looking for an old check book
Oo
vo oo… Oh Yeah
Searching
up and down & here and there
ended
up finding a shabby box somewhere
Oo
vo oo… Oh Yeah
The
Box…Yes… The Box
Having
those five things
The
Box…Yes… The Box
Containing
some memories and some dreams
A
faintly legible story about a bride
written
on my Botany Workbook
The
draft was never made fair
At
that time I was too lazy to care
The
I-Card of my sister
She
looked so innocent and pretty
We
used to walk to school together
Now
she is studying in a far away city
Oo
vo oo… Oh Yeah
The
Box…Yes… The Box
Having
those five things
The
Box…Yes… The Box
Containing
some memories and some dreams
I
found a cutting of my role model
from
the monthly glam glossy
Sporting
a white shirt with fit blue pants
So
bold yet so classy
An
issue of The Reader’s Digest
having
my first, probably last publication
A
letter to the editor
made
vivid with a highlighter
On
the bottom of the box
lay a piece of paper
A
flashy muscled, mustached super hero
drawn
fifteen years back by my brother
Though
I never located that check book
But
I found something more valuable
Oo
vo oo Oh Yeah
The
Box…Yes...The Box
Having
those five things
The
Box…Yes…The Box
Containing
some memories and some dreams
Yes The box…. The box
