YES, I AM A PEDESTRIAN

YES, I AM A PEDESTRIAN

Yes, I am a mere a pauper pedestrian:

How can I afford thee a chariot cosy and Elysian?

How can I take thee for a ride in the alluring Lake Dal

How can I buy thee a warm, gorgeous Kashmir shawl?

Yes, I am a mere insolvent pedestrian:

How can I feed thee at the Star Hotel New Merrian?

How can I sculpt for thee as Shah Jahan, the Taj Mahal

How can I stitch for thee Mumtaj’s enthralling apparel?

Yes, I am a mere bankrupt pedestrian:

How can I purchase thee a coveted and lavish chain

How can I drown thee in the main of imposing glamour

How can I adorn thee in the realm of opulent splendour?

Nonetheless, I am thy Venetian Love, a rarest of the rare

None can love thy soul more deeply, more loyally and better?
