Dear friends, what do you do?
When you feel down and blue?
I, for one of those precious few,
Fail to find a plausible clue,
So, I choose to silently chew,
Paan masala, one or two!
Do you do the same, too?
Or you would rather like to eschew
Making an answer from this cue,
And tell me something entirely new?
When sometimes I am down and blue,
I guess I want to again walk through
The memory lanes, old and new,
And engage myself, through and through.
I love to look out and have a view
Of the skies above, white and blue,
And marvel at their celestial hue,
From that fancied flight my dreams ensue.
Well, this indeed is my maiden debut,
In trying to make a soft break through,
Not to seek any accolade or to woo
You or others for an admiration undue.
I know this to be indeed true,
‘Twas just a fun, and not an interview,
Asking you as to what you do,
If and when you feel horribly blue!
Come on folks, do not pooh-pooh,
My humble verses which I construe
To be nonsense rhymes brought to you,
With this, may I say, adieu, adieu! ! !
