The bee,
Stung a flea,
With pain and  tears,
It  settled on a glass of beer,
Licked some drops,
The beer did the trick,
Gave it courage to make the bee sick.
My bite to your sting,
And the flea landed on the bee's
wing,
Now, I will defecate too,
Make you itch till you are blue.
Never play with a flea,
Cats, dogs and even humans are afraid of me.

grandfather's outing
dripping chocolate icecream
finding his new shirt.

As I cleaned my store,
I came across my old shoes, many seasons I wore.
They stood side by side in rows,
Some with run down heels and broken toes,
The others with holes
through the soles.
Other two badly torn,
Many times I had worn,
Still one only scuffed,
It's sole I found rough.
My old shoes, I had worn them so well,
Each had a story to tell,
I can never throw them away,
With them I spent many good and bad days.

As I woke up in the morning in my hospital bed,
I saw the patient next to me breathing his last,
I thanked God for another beautiful day,
And vowed never to let it go to waste.

Sometimes your words are worse than the pierce of an arrow.

The answer to an idiot is to be silent.

Get up in the morning,
Feeling fresh and cool.
Draw the curtains,
Open the windows and doors,
The sun is shining,
The birds are chirping ,
A new beginning,
From God a blessing,
Hot coffee is waiting.
Give me a kiss,
I love you my sweet bliss,
Good Morning.

Don't dwell into the past,
It's gone,
Never to come back,
Why cry over spilled milk,
Don't worry about the future,
You haven't been there,
Que sera sera,
Whatever will be will be,
The future's not our to see,
Que sera sera,
What will be will be,
Think of today,
Live it,
Enjoy it,
Que sera sera,
Who knows what will happen next.

As a child I drank milk,
As I grew up to be a young teenager I changed to soda,
Gradually as a middle-aged  man I thought beer was better,
With maturity and a cane in one hand,
I have settled for wine.

On a mountain at every level there is a different vegetation,
So is life,
At every level it has to be a different you.

It was impossible for me to make so many mistakes,
So I decided to learn from the mistakes of others.

Wife:Darling can I ask you something.
Husband: Yes dear.
Wife: How many women did you sleep with
Husband: With you, with others I was awake.

It was a quiet, beautiful night,
With death my last fight,
I breathed  my last,
The dice was cast.
Tonight there was a full moon glowing,
The stars were sparkling,
All the Angels around me smiling,
Happy and cheering,
Me, to heaven they were taking.
As the hearse took me to the graveyard.
The city was blazed with lights
And around my soul was a halo of heavenly light.
My grave was already dug,
A beautiful Angel came and gave me a hug,
She whispered softly,"READY."

A man's hardship is a prelude to prosperity.
29/6/2019

Cast aside your pride,
Discard your arrogance,
And think of your grave.
29/6/2019

Beautiful is just a set of words of the alphabet,
Strung together like a diamond necklace,
Instead, be adventurous, crazy and amazing,
So men want to be with you and enjoy your company,
Not just have you.
28/6/2019

I tried to close my eyes,
Cover the mirror,
Keep myself alone,
Then, I realised how deeply I love you,
When I could not take you out from my heart.
28/6/2019.

stand on the shoreline
gentle waves caress feet
the sea welcomes me.
28/6/2019

Open the door of your heart,
Please let me come in,
Give me some space and I will prove I have come to stay,
Forever and forever.
28/6/2019.

Love me, love me not,
Kiss me, Kiss me not,
At least give me coffee for your thoughts.
27/6/2019

nine months within me
preparing bond of lifetime
new life to cherish.

as dawn emerges
breathing in the salty beach
after night's drizzle.

dark cumulus clouds
threatened me to stay indoors
drenched in the downpour.

My Husband was my cardiac muscle,
Always there for me,
Tirelessly  pumping love and strength in me.
I miss him.
27/6/2019

I lead a simple life,
I am happy,
I get my needs,
Sometimes my wants too,
I am happy.
I try to bring smiles on other's faces,
Joy in other people's  lives,
I am happy.
I love my job,
I love my family and friends,
I love doing things for them,
I don't expect anything in return,
I am happy.
My life has a measure of darkness,
Now and then spoonfuls of sadness,
I take things along as they come along with patience,
I am happy.
Happy is a colour,
And I paint it with all the colours that make life beautiful.

Revive moments otherwise gone,
over a hot cup of coffee or a tub of  icecream.

behind the laced screen
lady love in kimono,
breath of Jasmine.

My sorrows are silhouettes  etched in black charcoal.

Every ounce in me screams you are the only one,
But, you always look the other way.
25/6/2019

You are tangled into the roots of my heart,
A **** I am unable to uproot.
25/6/2019

Love does not fit into a time frame,
It just happens.
25/6/2019.

Cockroach,  Cockroach , what are you doing in my soup,
In the kitchen I was playing hoop la hoop,
And I fell in you soup mister,
It's hot and I am getting blisters,
Scoop me with your spoon,
Before I swoon.
Please don't shout or scream,
I will be thrown out of the kitchen of my dream,
Filthy and messy,
With rotten fish, slimy and smelly,
Red meat in blood,
And fungi on sauces and salads with mould,
Never scrubbed,the kitchen,
For thousands of us it's heaven.
Be a pal,
Go away with your gal,
At least I did you a favour,
Not eating in this yucky place forever.
25/6/2019

We met,
To find a solution at least,
Everyone was professional,
Dedicated to his work day and night on call.
I was different,
Food first was my want,
So while they thought out of the box,
I ate from the box,
First theirs, then mine
After finishing set them in a line.
They came back famished,
But theirs I had already relished,
Fresh and without stress,
I thought under no duress,
The problem was the solution,
What a situation.
Remember eat first,
Then do your best.
No food,
Bad mood

Spare the rod and spoil the child,
Today it is termed as child abuse.
Never hit a child.
Children should be seen not heard,
Now it is one of children's  right-
to be listened to.
if they reply back it is not rude,
They are giving their opinions,
Parents are their worst enemies.
All the neighbour's  children played outside,
Bicycled together,
Today, it is dangerous to play outside,
Paedophiles lurk around corners.
Children drank from the same bottle,
Ate from the same dishes,
Plucked fruits and ate them without washing
Today, bacteria, fungi and virus have taken over their health.
We say today's  children have become smarter,
I say they are more material oriented.

joyous school children

at last school over

His  fault,
Her fault,
Their fault,
Our fault,
It's fault,
You are interested in other's faults,
What about yours.

granp's ate beans today,
got up slowly from his chair,
could not stop farting.
24/6/2019

Life has no meaning,
Love has no joy,
Business is slow,
Friends have scattered,
Want to go to heaven,
But, there is no bus going there.
Oh! Bring back,bring back my life to me.

One day I went with my friend to put flowers on her sister's  grave.
My eyes fell on the  tombstone.
On it was written:
Come but don't shed tears on my grave,
Friends don't be sad,
If any of you miss me just come up to visit me.

If every human on Earth was humane the world would be a better place.

the grave was ready,
the angels smiled lovingly
just you and your deeds.

Angel Of Death:Dear Lord, my job of taking people's  lives is thankless. I will always be blamed for their death.
God: Never my son, there will always be a reason for their death.
Amen.

Good friends are like heart beats,
Never loud enough to be heard,
But always there to support you,
In your ups and down.
21/6/2019

In my prayers I asked for your smile,
And as a gift I asked for your love.

My first ******,
I stained my skirt,
My friends smeared it with chocolate.
I went to the zoo with my classmates,
I teased a monkey in a cage,
I was so close, it pulled my hair.
I was walking along a quiet alley when a thief came and snatched my necklace,
I fell down and bruised my elbow,
At least my purse was safe,
It had all my credit cards, some cash,gold bangles and rings,
Some passers by helped me up,
My hijab had come off,
So,as I was trying to straighten it,
I noticed my necklace was safe,
The thief had only got the string of my hijab,
When I related the incident to my family everyone said,"Poor man."
I thought I had become friends with my neighbour's  mad lady,
I tried to shake hands with her but she spit on me and slapped me hard,
Now,I am wary of insane people.
We were a big family,
When it came to food it was first come first to choose,
My sisters always got the best,
So,one day I saw them hide the ripest mangoes in their cupboard and lock it,
When they went out,
I removed the top drawers, took the mangoes and ate them all,
Till today, they can't figure how their mangoes disappeared...........
