Gold Strip Poem by Abdul Wahab

It is done by the Japanese
by the Chinese too
come to the bank
and start mending
the crack it develops due to its old age
or for being over used
but successfully it served us for long
when we were young
it helped us to drink
soft, hard
hot, yellow or red
whenever we felt thirsty
helped us to cross
when the river rose and we felt jittery
now it has history
and wrapped with it, we have our sweet memories
that's why it needs an urgent mending
it has great antique value
please bring a match box
I will come with a
gold-strip
