I...a statue

It’s a storeroom of statues

Near the extention of Aravallies,

A little room of twenty nine statues


The little store keeper is restless

He sits on his chair

Then stands up.


He keeps his specs and dusting brush

And attempts to liven up the statues

To make them viceless humans

(Vice less humans ?...ha! ha! ha! ha!)


Again he waves his hands,

The statues are statues

No movements...


Let me tell you a secret,

The statues would come to life

Only when the keeper would leave


He mutters something now

Counts the statues

Leaves…


The statues brighten up now,

The cheer, the laugh,the shout

It’s an interesting show


The door opens now,

Enter another statue…

In the storeroom,

My Classroom…I a statue
