My Poems

 

On Covid

People, people, people

The covid virus can stifle

So chin up, tone down and staple

The first vaccine shot’s a monster

It can cause fever and ulcer

To oldies its much kinder

With a minor hiccup or flounder

The second injection is a boon

For all who are ready to swoon

In the arms of animal spirits

Lets party , travel and mix again soon!

 

On Mind

Mind is one thing I never could understand

It leaves me puzzled, oftentimes blank!

When I should be in the present

Working hard on my current assignment

It scurries into the corridors of the past

To ferret out nuggets of memories lost

Leaves me in a reverie from which I drag myself out reluctantly

To confront my supervisor staring at me accusingly

Often it leaps to the future

Laying out dreams of wealth and riches enticingly

Wretched creature it is!

Just when I am assured its not all a dream,

It prods me awake with nudge and a wink!

 

On water

What a wonderful thing is water

One drop has the same formula as a quarter

Its only htwoO but it packs a punch

As if it were uranium

When it does not rain, sleet or snow

We wonder where did it all go

When there is a downpour

The frogs croak and snakes go slow

It’s a wonderful feeling

When we are a bathing

The soapy suds and scented soaps

Under the shower or in the tub

Cleansed of all the muck

That’s what water does for us

What would we do without you?
