you're my flashy neon sign

A Warm welcome to dine

Hey, I know it's not mine

your sparkle and your shine

I'm your tube light

  moulded to be most useful and bright

 slow starter flicker flicker 

I whine and whine, and then I glow

Stranded in the cross roads

I gape and grin at your flash

 flash is not food ; flash may be no good

but I happen to be there

You think a weary traveller like me

 would add a touch of mystery

But I'm not even hungry 

just so entertained by the glare

Though  i lived in a city of a thousand lights 

I never stopped to stare

But on this darkest of roads so  bare

your brilliance has no compare

I know it's not an ancient fire

that kept the nights warm and secure

But the blinking of the electric bulbs , the friendly jingle of your music 

Thanks, My weary heart did repair.

But then a host of guests appeared

I picked myself up and cleared

out.You see, when you travel light,with no baggage

Life is so much easier to steer.
