Hitch hiker.



Hitch hiker.

Once I was driving long.
The weather was pretty
and I was singing song.

Suddenly I was stopped by a hitch hiker,
who was waiting on the road side.
He lifted his hand
and I stopped the car.

He asked me to give a lift.
I took him to my car.
I didn't mind
to get him a shift.

He sat besides me.
I introduced myself.
He introduced himself as'finger smith'
and was in glee.

I was in doubt,
as I never heard the term before.
At first I disregard it
and took it as flout.

After sometimes he asked me to stop.
He got off from the car
and bade me thanks,
 in respect to drop.

After awhile I put my right hand,
 in my trousers right  pocket
to check my purse.
But it was empty,I found!
