I owe no-one!

I don’t give a quarter, a dime

If people don’t think highly of me!

I always care two hoots

If people think I don’t toe their line!

I wouldn’t blink even once

If I’m marooned all alone, on an island, fine!

Page

One moment, I’m empty

The other, filled with words, symbols, signs

I tolerate the incoherent, the messy handwriting

And take pride in good presentation

Though, given a choice, I’d prefer to be blank

I make a mark, only when filled

Though I’m called a page,

I’m a mirror of your thoughts and emotions

Just read me, to read yourself !

Wish

Grant me a wish to go wherever I wish

To peep into people’s minds

Wander into strangers' souls

Hear what the birds chirp

Understand what animals speak

Sway with the colorful, fragrant, flowers

Speak the language of love

To make others’ wishes come true!

Wish you all a Very Happy Diwali and Prosperous Padwa! May the twinkling lights and sparkling happiness last forever, in all our lives!

Many Happy Returns of the Day!

Cherish this day when you were born

Remember your mother from night to morn

Make yourself worthy of your race

Among the stars there’s lots of space!

         Many others may come and go

         But never will anyone, like you glow!

Like a torch you must light the way

Let no one forget you, come what may

My best wishes are always with you, day after day

‘MANY, MANY, HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY!’

Happy Birthday, dear Deepesha. May God bless you and fulfill all your wishes.

Your Boss

Your boss is gross

He goes only for candy-floss

He’s such a louse

For words, I am at a loss !

Others’ flaws, he may gloss

Yours, he shines like brass

Give his job a toss

And show him that you are your own BOSS !

Twins

We are just alike, and difficult not to like

When I ride a bike

My brother’s gal hitches a hike!

When I fail a paper, my brother’s party to my caper

When I rob a cell, he goes to a jail cell!

Life’s pretty smooth-sailing

What with all his bailing, to cover up all my failing(s)!
