A lovely life ought to wait ahead

While roaming around fecklessly,

he found some ceremony going on

a sort of merrymaking, all enjoying

never knew he reached a kingdom

 

King's elephant,

with a garland in d' trunk

to arrive, put it in someone's neck

he'll be made king for d' next 5 yrs.,

it might be his number, by mistake

He stood in the line of d' aspirants,

that day God granted d' boon for him

d' mob parted, d' tusker came,

put d' garland on his neck this time

 

Congratulated in blasting voices,

welcomed by applause, sloganeering

incredible, as if ongoing witchcraft,

got accepted as the next king

D' Chief priest came chanting hymns,

put sandalwood paste on his forehead

abruptly cordoned off by d' king's army,

escorted to d' palace, d' guards ahead

 

You'll be the king for d' next 5 yrs.,

rigidly ought to follow a certain rule

once your term is over, u can't stay here,

go to a village,

on d' outskirts of d' jungle

Once you come out of d' kingdom,

and cross d' stream of a fiery river

tough to escape their lethal attacks,

its d' crocodiles, sharks' safe abode

 

If cross unhurt, live a rural life,

continue there, till an alive being

d' authority denied coming back

he thought,

d' priest must be bullying

Nothing to lose in d' silly bargain,

his life, meaningless, he's so poor

Why not avail this rare opportunity?

scope to be d' king for d' next 5 yrs.

 

Ultimately accorded his willingness,

accepted all laid down conditions

listened patiently,

took care of everyone,

utmost careful in administration

Everything went on smoothly,

no one, allowed to have a complaint

people got worried so nice a king,

but now,

his tenure comes to an end

 

Farwell done with drums and beguiles,

eyes of d' most of them were loaded

cross a river full of furious creatures,

d' poor king will die a terrible death

At d' river bank, he folded his hands,

thanked one and all wanted to depart

but could see a wooden bridge there

in the last five years, he did construct

 

He crossed d' bridge, walking on it,

it looked strong, safe, and beautiful

all facilities developed in d' village,

totally serene, calm, and comfortable

With good wills, blessings, prayers

and good karmas, d’ bridge, got erected

in limited time did all d' welfare

so, for him,

a lovely life ought to wait ahead
