Squabble Amongst The Toys -Arnav Negi Squabble Amongst The Toys, With whom shall this lad enjoys? With the mighty snake and shuddering fate, Boasted ‘Snakes and Ladders’ With a pacing rate. “Your serpents will venom you one day!”, Choking with laughter, that’s what ‘Chess’ and ‘Ludo’ would say. With each step and stride, Chess exclaimed,” Make your Queen hide!” “Your Racist Chess!” The ludo screamed. “Your hues are as worthless as your rules” ‘Carom’ came rushing, striking ludo with all fuels. “All insignificant BAUuuuBLEEE,” the ball set off to a height, Garamond! Arrived and kicked the lad with all valour and might. Seeking eyes with frequent fidgeting, Face made someone depressed as if his dad was beating. With ‘baby shark do.do.do.do.do.do’ and ‘Minecraft’ ride, Thumping came ‘I pad’ wide. Grinned like never before this lad, The moment seamed as if he was mad. Disparity all around, toy’s weeping was a must, They waited and still awaits for everlasting kisses from dust and ever-loving rust.
