The best days of my life

I didn’t even know

How different were a six and nine.

How everyone pulled my cheeks

And I would reply

It hurts, do it not please.

How everyone cared only about me

Father, friends, teachers, mother

Now not even a single is bothered.

The difficult decision was choosing a crayon

What if I remained as a kid from the time I was born?

I didn’t know why in school

Were we supposed to study?

Only job was to have fun around with buddies

I tell you I was such a naive

Used to practice how to align myself

In a straight line.

Would talk only when class was silent

Madam’s reaction – totally violent.

Loved how everyone pampered,

That affection at present has got hampered.

All made pranks made each other fool,

As if that was the only sign to display you are cool.

At a time I used to eat ice creams

Two or three, frozen or melting.

The very next day was found badly sneezing

I were such an incorrigible one,

Oh! Good lord! I wish I had never grown up!
