Holi Boat

//////////

Join the ecstatic melee

Ladies and gentlemen

Boys and girls

With or without curls

Sheer happiness unfurls

Friends and strangers alike

Spray and smear colours

On one another

Yes there are the powders

And the ones mixed with oil

Red,blue,green,yellow,purple

Dont forget the gold,silver

And the preposterous black

Zeal and ehthusiasm no lack

Some wear new white clothes

Most wear old torn ones

The Holi Boat sails till two

Scrubbing,shampooing,cursing

Bleary,tired eyes,hasty goodbyes

Sun is low down in the skies

The toddler has grown

How quickly time flies

Get aboard the Holi Boat

Enjoy colour and wantonly float

Next year may be bit too late

You may lose the spring in your gait

So welcome the Basanta Utsav

And spread the timeless message

Of the Eternal Love...
