Paws with Flaws

             



Let me tell you a story rare
In a jungle far away from here
A camaraderie between an unlikely pair
The Tale of a tabby-cat and a Hare

Maybe it was summer or the start of fall
When they stumbled upon each other
But before we go on with their journey
Know a bit about the kitty and the bunny

The puss seemed dainty but was fierce
And the tiny thing had grizzled hair
Mighty and reticent was the hare
A bit callow but alluring and fair

So when they met and started to chat
Wondered what's common between a rabbit and a cat
But they enjoyed each other's anecdotes and little spats
Account of some events and stories of combat

To the bunny, the feline was acute and prudent
But the kitty too was flawed and full of imperfections
Till the time they were frolicking, everything was fine
Until one day havoc broke on their lives

A fine day when both were strolling through the bushes
They discovered a beautiful ravine
With peaches and plums on each side
The hare leapt and bounced to reach the other side
But Tabby couldn't swim and was afraid of heights

"Fear not", said the bunny,
"Cause I will be your boat and piggy-ride pony"
But in his excitement to cross the gorge
He forgot that Tabby had hopped on his back

Sprung so high, the kitty fell from the sky
The bunny got scared and left her to die





It was not supposed to end like this but................

Polished Sins

  A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Model Men and Their Modern Myths

  Here come the men who love their pride, With “culture” on speed dial, their mothers beside them. They want a wife who’ll light the lamp, While they scroll through pages of virtual vamp. They call themselves leaders, oh so wise, But sex ed is a topic they just despise. If you ask them about anatomy's flow, They’ll stammer, then boast about paychecks to show. Progressive now, they’ll have you believe, Because daughters study, and daughters leave The home to work—but don’t go too far, Or they’ll pull you right back by some invisible bar. They crave the respect, the honour, the fame, Yet when faced with real talk, they’re quick to shame. These "modern men" with their ancient views— One foot in the past, and the other confused. Oh, fools of entitlement, kings of the mud, With egos so fragile, they’re bound to flood At the slightest nudge of applied insight— They’ll laugh, then pull you out of their sight. So here’s to these men, these leaders so grand, With “values” in one, ...
