Kidding Me

With the bunch of exhilarated kids,

My heart always skids,

On one such evening conversation,

Unaware of their mental acceleration,

To spread some general awareness,

I scanned my neural networks, framed some questions,

Suitable for their acceptable fairness.

My approach was naive,

And theirs was grave.

When I asked "where is Red Fort", with a stern look,

One of them proclaimed in my "EVS book"

And that was not all

Quizzing them is a different game of bat and ball,

In an attempt to rest my case

I dared to check their base.

I enquired what is different about Mumbai and Delhi,

They looked at each other with answers in their eyes to tally.

A smart notch raised his hand, to reply "Mumbai has sea"

And one to follow declared "Delhi has D"

Though I was sitting on another side of the table,

I felt a little less sound and able.

What I learnt will stay with me forever

For their heart is gold and soul is silver

I announced everyone a clear winner.
