Friends Lost

Once upon a time there were the children
Playing ringa roses in the garden of Eden
Innocence fragranced sweet grasses
As they run around the wet greenness of heaven
An ancient serpent sleeping in the woods
Woke up hearing child giggles & plays
The sudden awakening garnished his anger
Which it had as the children came Eden ways.
Took a charming fruit from the blessed garden
The serpent polished it with its vent
Went to the children with a poised smile
Tempted an offer to the innocents
Alas! Parasdise lost as Milton said
So I shall not waste anymore time
The story goes on till date
A lost effort to find friends in rhyme.
