As I looked outside my window
While trees and poles went whirring past
The train I was on seemed to to slow down
As I saw people walking fast..
The children though were having their moments
As they saw everyone scoot and scurry,
They probably wondered why on earth
Were all these people in such a hurry!
They peered at the long tail of wagons
And thought of it as a huge snake
And when mother hassled them to make it quick
They pretended to walk fast for her sake..
I couldn't but notice their amused look
Though it had a tinge of fear
Maybe the thought of entering this snake
And sitting on it made them cling on to mother dear!
Getting onboard was one big fight
With everyone getting at it at once
The little people were at their wits' end
As they struggled to hold on to their guns.
I wondered how they would manage to board
The leap of faith would they have taken ?
All that agony , fear and pain
Just for a ****** seat forsaken !?
Just then I caught sight of them
Stepping inside with a deep sigh
Just as they looked around in a haze
I caught them in the eye.
I signalled them to come and sit
Across from where I sat
They took my offer and jumped at it
Without an eyelid bat
Suddenly they realized it was not what they thought
The great  big monster to be
And just like me, the whirring trees and poles
They too began to see....
