The Unheard Noise

In a minute, he had vanished.

I blew in all directions to find him

But he was nowhere seen.

Then a boy came yelling,

Making everyone aware of a little hole.

Yes, it was a tiny hole;

Only with regards to its diameter.

Its depth, Oh! It was deep enough

For me to be unable to measure it.

Would you believe me

If I said the hole made noise?

But the hole did make noise.

Was it the hole or the boy within the hole?

It was a pretty loud noise;


That all of you’ll refused to hear

Until the noise completely stopped.


(Context: Children falling into borewells)


I was blowing around like any other day.

I was happily watching all the children play.

They were playing the freeze tag;

Hence, he was running to give them the unfreeze tag.
