Building Sand Castles

Building sand castles on the seashore

With sand on our hands and sand on our clothes

Quite a few storeys we built with windows and doors

And still kept trying to add a few more

"You smoothen the walls ", mother would say

"While I make a pool and a garden to swim and play "

And Dad and my siblings would look for stones and shells

To deck up its walls which turned out ever so well

Later at night the sea so strong and rude

With a sweep of hands and kick of its boots

Brazen like hooligans, did forcefully intrude

Wiped away our castle right off its roots

So the next day again we reached the seashore

And with sand on our hands and sand on our clothes

We built a new castle on the sandy floor

With many more storeys, windows, and doors.
