Sense Of Humor Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

Much of the work is done
Doing nothing
Much awaited decisions have been taken
With no ramification
Something from the past has been recalled
With no use
Rain came down
Pouring
And the sun did rise
Some people said their prayers
Others left the job
Some earned pretty good names
For themselves
A motherly figure listened
For hours
A pretty girl tried to be polite
Every one is human
The movie was showing some intense
Relationship
The breakfast was warmer than the usual
The diary with a leather cover
To get organized
Was gifted to me
I wished I could find my lost documents
Which included my degrees
The man who was driving that car
I decided not to buy one like that
With some passion I talked about certain things
Which were no relevance for others
I was eating butter on hot bread
For my dinner
When I was called on phone
I threw that into dustbin
The bread was wrapped in the news paper
A cat was waiting
Later I thought I could get it back
After all I see many young girls
And boys
Called scavengers
Looking for their foods
In the garbage
I bought two cokes
One for the guest and the other for myself
There is a box of soft tissue papers
On my table
I will not use paper to clean my hands now
Certainly for some time
Wareesha had put a neck tie
To a toy dog
Which she was pulling on earth
Like fate pulls us all
But fate does not have as good a sense of humor
