demnetisation poem composed from the eyes of a young adoloscent

SO  HEY THERE

I was composing an Elocution piece  for my 13 year old sonny  Aaryan  , the topic being Demonitisation ..

Demonetisation and the effect on the young  mind.


Demonetisation ! Oh ! Demonetsation !
In my tender young heart you cause a crazy flutter and sizzling vibration
Art thou  a boon or a bane  for the Government's  deliberation.

Gone are the days of  500 and 1000 notes
is it really a reason to cheer  or an additional  burden to a common man's woes.......

Yesterday my father went out to the ATM of our bank
Well , there was a cash crunch you  see. to be very frank

my birthday was approaching OOH!! There was so much excitement in the air
A big bash I awaited , with friends , family and all fanfare

Daddy returned all baffled , rattled and shook up  at half past two
Well ! you see, he was no. 102  at the banks's doors' long queue

Chocolate cake , decor, music , gifts , oh yes!  the return gifts and prizes
Oh! how shall 2000 suffice in obtaining all this , what with inflated prices

With a heavy heart I trudged  to my mom and handed over my most coveted possession - my PIGGY BANK
And when it was plundered , looted and broken .. my heart really sank

Out poured Tens fifty , hundreds jingling and jostling with  clinking coins of one , two and five
Halleluiah! Eureka ! My frugality and thriftiness has  sure paid its price

The party's on! Suddenly , we had a reason to celebrate
 But wait ! who's that? do i hear the milkman clanking at the gate

His salary is due , he sure is in a tight spot
What with no ATM Facility , he has to survive , and what not

Kuniamma our house help sure looks teary eyed
As fretting about the "Notebandi" has kept her awake all night

Well Ice creams , chocolates , party , gifts , ..really!!that all can really wait
After all , Being Human is a quality that we must all emulate



The Demonetisation phobia shall surely gradually die down
Leaving some in a frenzy while others with a frown

Let's hope the Government's bold step shall reap what they have sown
As for the aspirations of us young Pioneers ,

We hope to see our country , our India ..REBORN
