On the path of a village <br /> <br /> A fish was crying loudly; <br /> <br />Behind it another lay <br /> <br /> On the land deadly. <br /> <br />Many were crossing them <br /> <br /> But nobody heard, <br /> <br />Then its voice <br /> <br /> Went to a kind shepherd. <br /> <br />Very politely he asked <br /> <br /> And knew the reason. <br /> <br />The reason was nothing <br /> <br /> But the cruel season. <br /> <br />The cruel summer season <br /> <br /> Had dried the big pond. <br /> <br />In quest of water, <br /> <br /> The two fishes reached the ground. <br />Not a dropp of water was found <br /> <br /> Due to lack of rain, <br /> <br />So all their labour <br /> <br /> Was in vain. <br /> <br />One of the two fishes <br /> <br /> Was breathing the last; <br /> <br />He took the both <br /> <br /> And ran very fast. <br /> <br />He put them into a tank <br /> <br /> Conserving water for his cattle. <br /> <br />After that the fishes started <br /> <br /> To dance and whistle.<br /><br />Jyoti Sunit Chaudhary<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/two-fishes-alternate-rhyme/
