(Adventure with Devices: Anti-climax & Climax.....)
1
Yabba dabba doo! Samba drums, rondo
Rounds, rondel rhymes of sonata as
Shakira discoed Roboisa
For French Picasso frescoed -
Sensei - A cat to rats,
Lion to deers, life to
Good, death to bad,
Chum to you,
A whiz
Zing.
Thrums
Rumba -
'Dangerous'
Wacko Jacko
Hop-hoops with moon walks
While Brahma creates Bahai -
A Bric-brac, dotty crack, taught
n00bs,180 jimdandies, tied to no
Field, drizzle-mizzled Gita - won hearts
Tippy with smiles in the age plastic - Zazz!

2
Loony preppies, Zany zombies and famed
Varros - You're born wits, Palsy-walsy
Wiz-kits, smiling with clocking in
The sun - if I got to grade,
You'd get numero uno,
Bish-bosh-bash, Shabaash!
Whirr! Alpha and
Omega flew
In birds'
Flight.
Shaw's
Ideas stirred,
Swami's speech blurred,
Hawking's brain erred -
Sun's Glamour tattered,
Ash-boughs quiver-quavered
As sky thunder-showered in
Me. Hara-kiri, end came like
Tsunami - mind all joys we shared with
Tears in eyes we depart, sayonara.
