The Street Dog
Nobody told him, yet He was sincere night watcher in every hour his violent bark Destroy the silence of night.
From this end to that end of the lane was under his jurisdiction, in midnight Entry of any unknown person here was prohibited.
Nobody told him, yet He was sincere night watcher.
After night duty, at the dawn to go to an unworried sleep at the side of street or under a balcony Then wake up with terrible hunger at late morning then in search of food from dustbin to dustbin continuous rambling was to fill one corner of belly.
Yesterday midnight came some strangers Their movement were very suspicious He ran towards them With loud voice tried to prevent But with earnest caress They threw some wonderful food So much amount and so tasteful! Never had he got so marvelous food in his life! He ate silently with full satisfaction then he went to sleep with full stomach never he slept so deeply!
He is now in eternal sleep Just opposite to him, in front of the door there is assembly of polices and neighbors' Lifeless body of the householder is on the floor Smeared with blood.
They lift the body on stretcher... Carry away to morgue for postmortem...
At a little distance There is the calm body of hearty watcher Nobody look after...
