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
Memories definitely gain value with time.
