I Felt Cheated
She was single and lonely
All of her belonged to me
At the corner of the building
Looking like a bride
I spotted her needing
Help at her side
Chivalrously I opted
To do the needful
She seemed thoroughly pleased
And blissful
Then suddenly a car stopped by her
With door flung open
A man sat inside
With wide open arms which did her beckon
Alas; To my dismay, I was left alone
Near me no more now, but an illusion

Be Pushy, Friend, When Required
In the line of bill payers at the bank
As the fairer sex
If sick don't just be blank
"Ladies first", "excuse me, before you please"
For deals with unpaid bills
Ask for goods back, threat if you will
Repeat the request for a job
You may make it from the mob
Instead of standing, share the seat on the bus
Isn’t it much better than making a fuss
Whatever you do during tug-o-war, do not push the rope
Or you'll be the laughing stock amidst cries of, "What a dope"
Sometimes an obstacle comes in the way
Sometimes it is smooth going all the way
Life’s ups and downs add to its totality
Lending to it an air of immortality

What’s Cooking
La Ra Rum go the prancing, dancing
Flames of the stove
Amused by this scenario, is the meat
Being cooked above
The groin softens to the warmth of the fire
With the cabbage and potato
It forms an empire
The unveiling of the platter
Reveals, fit for a king, matter
Copied from television this recipe
Is a treat, when near and dear ones
Altogether do meet

Courtship Between The Cat And The Crow
My backyard is livened up
By the cat and the crow
From a distance they for each other
A liking show
Caw caw, meow meow they hark & howl
A din enough, to disturb the neighbouring fowl
Both of them perched on the dustbin
Turn by turn
Waiting for a morsel, from the kitchen to return
Up goes the leftover meat in the air
What ensues would ashame ‘The battle for the chair’
