I was so upset of firing from the job by my ruthless boss
And I missed the last bus.
I walked towards the dark Railway Station
And I heard a train hoots from a far away.
'Oh! What are you doing here in the late midnight? '
A woman stands with triplets and I am sure that she's pregnant too.
Because I noticed her belly has expanded a little.
'Where is your partner the father of these children? ' I questioned.
She didn't say anything and I found the answer from her gloomy talking eyes.
Oh! It's a dilemma and is there any place in this cruel World for them to rest unless my little hut?
But my beloved would grumbles though she loves children.
Definitely she would ask are you going to be the father of this unborn innocent?
My poor wallet not so sound as usual for the two full tickets and three halves.
Never mind and it's a Goods Train so we could hide somewhere like in a Cowboy movie.
When we go home I'll explain her: 'Hey! Darling do you remember, here is our far relative Maria Magdalena who lived in Good Shepherd's Era? '
But it's really a Tug of War and a challenge living with two women under the same roof.

A fascinating parable about the poverty of choice and the relativity of generosity. Your words flow so effortlessly, Nimal. I continue to gaze at them in awe. I'm sure that your lonely widow and her children will manage in their new 'family' of six! Here's hoping anyway. Wonderful poem dedicated to a wonderful poet, too. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Thank you very much for the wonderful dedication. I loved what Picasso said about children. Who can say what poet's work will live beyond the calendar? We can only hope that history will be kind to us. Thank you for your beautiful comment on 'Wind Harp'. I feel privileged to be called your'teacher'. You have a remarkable, original way with words. 'Goods Train' gets a ten from me. Friends 4ever, Sandra
