Poetic Verses
Easter time
As a child we looked forward to the Easter season
Because it was another break for vacation
As those three weeks was such a packed agenda
How we completed those chores was something of an enigma
Those days despite how much it rains
There was that duty of having to cut canes
But the joy was being paid, make the feeling of happiness
This facilitated going to a dance, cinema now that one had cash
How many times that talent was on display
Kite making occurred each moment of the day
Using wood, mid-rid of leaves of coconut and sugar cane
From these many kites were obtain
The coconut ones had such a degree if flexibility
As they could be bent somewhat quite readily
Sometimes in the form of birds among the shapes
What a beautiful picture this makes
The sugar cane mid-rib was not that sturdy
And therefore was inclined to break quite easily
Hence it was the understanding that day
Making more than one was the order of the day
It was amazing to see how they were covered
So white, brown and even from newspaper
And one from the ground could see
The big bold print of the headlines easily
Not that there were not others so colourful
The colour arrangement was pasted so skilful
As they ascended into the sky, what a sound
That humming sound could be heard all night long
When Easter came what was a day for celebration
As the many churches re-enact the reservation
As the choir sang songs of such jubilation
Quite befittingly as the show a Christian's appreciation
The there that beauty, comedy too of the Easter bonnet parade
What an entertaining and artistic sight it displayed
And the children too their hearts were gladden
Feeling happy on find that egg that was hidden
Well like most things time passed fast
It was time to pack those bags and prepare for class
Getting serious again, endure that grind
So mindful that soon it shall be summertime
Because it was another break for vacation
As those three weeks was such a packed agenda
How we completed those chores was something of an enigma
Those days despite how much it rains
There was that duty of having to cut canes
But the joy was being paid, make the feeling of happiness
This facilitated going to a dance, cinema now that one had cash
How many times that talent was on display
