INCREDIBLE INDIAN WATERS

Raining all the way,
powerful winds lashing,
all the way,
pot-holed narrow roads,
all the way,
dancing vehicles plying,
along,
autorickshaw,
a pendulum,
moving left,
and right,
The foreign tourist,
inside the autorickshaw,
a dancing spring-doll,
strong winds bring in,
waters for a free bath,
inside the vehicle,
pedestrians of Delhi,
walking along knee-deep water ,
some with umbrellas,
some without,
winds and rains play,
spoil-sport blowing,
away the light roofs,
over their heads covering them from downpour,
'Oh ..my God what's this'?-
the exclaiming tourist,
'This is what is'-
with in a second came the response
'what you mean'?- embarassment flashing
in tourist's eyes,
'Incredible Indian waters, sir' - driver
pointed his fingers to the rising reservoir Delhi
both burst out laughing,
'funny chap you'- tourist couldn't
supress his laughter,
'sorry sir, one of the clowns of Delhi'
Autorickshaw,
making merry,
all the way,
with the tourist,
enjoying the ride.
