BROKEN TOYS

The derailed train..it's boggie blackened
Teddy with its ears torn
Dolly with an eye missing
The fancy car ,four wheels
Lost to time
The chimp who stopped dancing
The monkey with its drum  dangling
The bunny in distress
It's nose pulled out
The kettle with its handle broken
The bulldozer and bikes with damaged
Engines
The barbiB with its soiled clothes
The piano whose keys refuse the music
The bongos with its skin torn off..
All strewn around the house
In sharp contrast to
My Dolly,teddy,train and cars
Sitting neatly in their place
Of glassed showcase in the old mansion.
Not a pleat or petal out of place
Even After all these years.
I call my kids and show off
And the elder one replies.
"Look at their faces mom
Ours  with all their fractures
Are more happy than yours!"
The unused perfect toys
Ageing in their lone childhood  ..
And I suddenly feel happy
For my children.
They were free enough
To play and break their toys!!!
