EARLY BIRDS (PART--I)







       
                           He rises at the hour of rising sun

                            Facing heat, chill and rain

                            To rise so early though hard it seems

                            He has to, his means of livelihood.

                            He has to race with flying time

                            Like a speeding dart he has to be swift and smart

                            He has to stop at every threshold and flat

                            And fling newspapers with precision bold

                            In a trice he has to rush to another lane

                            No time to halt and listen to others

                            A mechanical routine with no time to breathe;

                            Still so many papers to distribute, ha has to run

                            Still so many commitments left undone;

                            In this mad rushing world he has to sustain

                            Himself doing odd jobs and doing part-time course

                            A strange profession with no time to read at ease

                            Relaxing in a sofa, sipping morning tea;

                            In chilly weather and in sultry heat

                            In drenching rain and in foggy morning gloom

                            He has to move, he has to rush like morning gale

                            To greet with latest news and surprising facts;

                            Ushering in changes and kindling hopes;

                            A paperboy, a simple creature, he may seem

                            A true messenger who foregoes his morning sleep

                            And runs like a clock and keeps himself on toes

                            To keep us in touch with latest news and views

                            To make us see the future trends and hopes

                            In this fast changing news-obsessed world;  
                         

                        ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
