A New Headache Of Heart Attack Poem by Prem Nizar Hameed

Ms. Diabetes and Mr. Blood Pressure
Are now in the conference hall
For an urgent meeting called by
Mr. Cardiovascular Disease,
The head of their department.

Since Cardio is in a pensive mood
Both Diabetes and Blood Pressure
Start whispering each other:

“After x’mas and new year celebrations,
My sale is about to reach the target”
Groused Ms. Dia about the untimely meeting

“Do you think, I am roaming around
By just peeling the ground nuts?
I am also very much alert in achieving it”
Mr. BP replied with little annoyance.

“ Ok ok, be cool, as long as the human beings keep
Their laziness intact, we can flourish” consoled Dia
“Yes, yes, if they walk at least 20 minutes a day
Our sale’s ratings will surely go down” Mr. BP

By then Mr. Cardiovascular opens his file
And moves a news item to them
They read, startle, and look at Cardio:
“ It is an unbelievable and shocking news,
As if it gives a severe attack even to you, sir”
Both empathised with cardio in pathetic voice

“ Yoga, fitness apparatus, angioplasty
By- pass etc, at times, unleashed attack on me,
Even then I withstood like a fortress
But this is something like a bolt in the blue”
Cardio replied in very disappointment

BP intervenes: “ but, there is a hope, sir,
Who can afford to buy it? ”

“ When the computer was in the focus
Such a silly question was there, how is now!
It is being bought like French fries”

“Why the French medics make
Our survival so difficult, sir” asked Dia”

“ Man is very fond of this beautiful land
If they get a few seconds more, they will try more
And that is their eternal strategy
But time is very short for us
We need a new marketing strategy
For that we are here now”

BP and cardio start pondering to solve
The new head ache of the heart attack
While Dia is still astonishingly reading the newsitem:
MAN GETS THE WORLD’S FIRST ARTIFICIAL HEART:
FRENCH SURGEONS PERFORM GROUND BREAKING OPERATION
