Introspection!

Now let me talk about my merits

Oh my! Nothing much to say.

And looking at my list of de-merits

It just puts me to shame

What about my many achievements?

Sorry, none really worth the while

At least my talents

Oh Please! Just dabbling here and there

Everyday!!

I wake up in the morning, it is 6 o'clock

I brush; I bath, put up the coffee pot

 “Wake up dear, coffee is here”

I smile, I serve and move on

The kitchen is on the golden run

The cooker steams, water boils

I run hither, vegetables to dice.

A dash of spice and a pinch of salt

A spoonful to taste, “aah, Well done!”

Square boxes lined up

Lunches to pack

“Where did he put his bag?”

“My coffee is cold, Oh Smack!!”

The clock says nine, my Cinderella time.

A quick change,

Make up’s done

“Just a sec, I’ll join you Hon!”

Its 7:30 now, just back from work

Dinner time, rats in my gut.

More steam, more salt

Food to the table is brought.

No waiting I pray,

Hope he is early today.

It was, it wasn’t, just the usual

The day is done and so are the dishes.

I head back to my bed,

Groggy eyes, sleepy tread

I lie down and soon I am as good as dead.

And I wake up in the morning, it is 6 o'clock.

Bewitched...

A wriggle of my nose and things go up in the air
A laser beam shoots, when I give a hard stare.
A snap of my fingers, lights up a flame
A click of my boots to fly like a plane

All these I wish, Powers that I had
All these and I would make you go mad.

I would make you lose your shorts
Probably light up your shirt.
Pull down your pants
or dress you in vivid colours.

I may shower you with flowers
Probably with slimy toads.
Drench you in inky rain
or just cause you some pain


Alas, I should say, the wishes remain
Only a butt-load of Attitude and not Restrain
