Dolly's Necklace Poem by vijay menon

Dolly's Necklace

Rating: 5.0


strolling one day
with her cute little puppy
she saw a beautiful necklace
at a wayside store
with a deep desire to buy
the same
she asked the salesman for the price

her birthday was in the offing
she planned to wear it for the bash

in the piggy box she pooled daily
the pocket money she would get
and the coins piled up good enough
to buy the necklace she liked so much

on a sunday noon
she went and bought
the necklace that she liked
she beamed at the salesman
when he packed her ornament
and bade goodbye

but her glee was a bit short lived
like a bolt from the blue
a passing crook mugged her
and melted into the crowd
with the booty

dolly yelled for help
but no help was in sight
she sat forlorn weeping in a corner
with no one to console

it takes months or years
to fulfill a dream we cherish
but a fraction of a second
for someone to ruin the same
