My Dream Car

My Dream Car

As a child I dreamed of owning a car
Saved up each penny in a piggy jar
And the day came that I could fulfil my wish
Even though at home there was not a single dish

-I drove home proud, parking at the gate
Went in to greet my parents in haste
Hurt as they were for we had to struggle
with no space even to snuggle
At dawn I went and saw no car
But a huge hole where I‘d parked
Peeping into the sinking depth
I regret that I had even left
Lost in an instant was my lifelong dream
And my fortune, I could only scream-

Therein I fell and hit my head
And realised I was not on bed
Hurried out with the money I had
Handing it over to my dear dad
It will feed my siblings for months
And pay for moms cure at lengths
It dawned on me how wrong I was
For almost buying a car, alas!
