Warning Boards

Three young lads in sweet twenties,
wanted to conquer a land of wild seas.

Rocky cliffs and sailing mighty winds,
calling upon those lads of sweet twenties.

They sat on a thought to set roads towards the west,
then, tried pursuing their dads to their best.

You are kids! You have a little world of your own,
we are concerned for you child, trust me its very little known.

Said one "I do not intend to be coward like you,
I want to be with the world and not behind any few".

Said another "Trust me father, I am a son you would be proud of
I see your concern and I'll do nothing to make you cry of"

The third hardly spoke of a line,
I accept everything as you say and I promise to be fine.

Few more words did hurt the first father,
and convinced the rest but not really rather.

"Okay! I'll let you go,
but then, you will have a rule to follow".

"Done! I am there for any tit-bit ,
let it come as you know, who is paying for it."

"Do not swim in the waters on the sea-shores,
I've been there and I saw many-a-friends floating dead souls"

Casually the lad undermined and accepted those words,
He knew what to be forgotten, once he gets something from his purse.

Two days, after the lads of  twenties,
finally motored their ways to those mighty coaster-lies.

The air was fresh as never, and where,
the skies and waters blue for-ever.

They drink-ed and dined in joy for a day,
then rested in a cottage-hut near the bay.

There was nothing to disturb their calms,
but for a few waves breaking waters through palms.

The rebel boy now spoke in silence,I'll teach you what I am
tomorrow I'll ride over you and you will know "who I am"

Next morning, the rebel boy cried "Come guys, lets sail in the rock shores"
"There is nothing better than this for you sweet folks"

Thus they all reached that place,
where, natures's fury in smoky waters was at amaze.

But then, the third of them yelled towards a board,
This is the same, what my father had told.

"Life is too short, Do not Swim here, It will make you even shorter"
"It is no man, to try such adventure, it will only make your family weaker"

Those words did repel, all but one,
indeed not our rebel boy of twenty and awesome,

"You are morons, and you are cowards,
You are kids, but I am an adult now on-wards"

And, he jumped with joy into a thundering wave,
after-a-while which got lost in a twisty-grave.

Jumped one more to find, where his mate was,
but he too never returned to speak for any cause.

The third one was left standing alone, but to cry,
and those two mates floated, the next-day somewhere nearby.

Those lands and those wild seas conquered us cold,
and what happened to those fathers is a story not meant to be told.

"This is was my own Story O! my son of twenties"
"You heard me all, and now you are free to go those very seas"

"The Moral of the Story is too straight, which you also know,
"Listen to those warning boards, before anywhere you GO"
