melancholic drummer

drawn in grade 8

       "What is that I hear?"

   listen closely; the steady boom of a drum-
Look, there he comes down the street.
Boy, he looks sad..probably he is an orphan.

And look at his face-
         He looks as tho' there is no joy left in
his world.

     the lad keeps on beating his drum as if his little Life depends on it.
