Mr. Mouse, It’s for U


A slack tooth in upper jaw,  
shocked,
 in verge of a cry,
d’ wobbly tooth’s hurting me
what should I try !
Palms sweating copiously
 heart beating fast,
no one at home,
whom do I ask!
My friend lost one,
biting a tough chocolate
Class teacher spotted it,
asked to applaud, celebrate
a milestone of development
unique its way, for each brat
Wiggle, rotate, an easy yank,
in time, deciduous must depart,
Ought to be out, to make way
 for permanent ones’ cozy stay
All, if linger together,
one, on top of d’ other
an undesirable crowding
alters speech, hurdles chewing
My bosom friend told,
don’t be timid, be bold
 I put mine beneath d' pillow,
Where did they go,
 I never know
But woke up & found a gift
Tooth fairy always sends,
for d’ tumbled milk teeth
My gift protocol,
debated with dad, mom all
No candy, no chocolate,
edible ones, I won’t accept
I need only durable gifts,
wish to preserve, each of it
One day I’ll have twenty gifts
for all my twenty baby teeth

Another friend said
listen to my story,
relax, nothing to worry
While chewing food,
I gulped a loose front tooth 
Papa rushed me to d' Dentist
She checked my mouth in details
smiled, declared it’s harmless
Me too perplexed,
finally called mom
Busy in some meeting,
she never respond
Made chary twist and turn,
 my first milk tooth uprooted, gone
To feel d’ empty socket,
again & again tongue's sliding up,
d’  precious gem lies in my palm cup
Mom tells, a lower baby tooth,
to be thrown up, onto d’ roof
Erupts adult tooth upwards
stout, strong of unique class
If it’s Upper teeth,
put it in to mouse pit
pops up a permanent upper,
grows downwards sharper, stronger

Thought for a while, then
 calmly walked to d’ park,
Put it in to a mouse pit,
under a rose plant
Mr. Mouse, It’s for U
Kindly do all that,
what U wish to do

A woman needs a man



A woman needs a man

to confront a live cockroach,

mysteriously creepin’ up at kitchen sink
With entire attention on,
and granted no liberty to wink

To change fused bulbs of d’ toilet,

 replace all with mercury lamps,

To chase mischievous mosquitoes,

with a chargeable racket,

To fetch fresh gasping fishes

from d’ fish market


To drive her around, lug d’ groceries,
for her Nokia lumia to get accessories

To lift bulky baggage off d’ carousel,

at arrival lounge in airport,

to carry shopping bags to parking lot


 And to start and reverse d' car,
even to fix a tyre, if it goes flat
Though no topics to gossip,
yet to garrulously chat


To make weddin’ anniversary 
a mega event,

for grand cards, tinsel, dinner,

a lavish spent

To drag him as sacrificial goat,
 a pawn,

to be targeted,

for events in life that goes wrong

To pluck mangoes from top branches
for a hot sauce
to dye hair at d' black hole of scalp,
if rear view mirror had no access
To sing a song of appreciation,
if she puts on a modish dress

 Hurriedly to take crucial decisions,

to decide a honeymoon destination

 To have babies, healthy and wise,

their naughty activities to supervise


 To pour out entire earnings

for children education,

And finally for them,

a befitting groom or bride selection


To exploit decades long friendship,

and extract sundry surprise gifts


To be used as a stopgap chef,
to escort her,
to city's renowned coffee cafe

To set ill fitting cupboard doors,

 least bothered for

d' life ahead to be spent together

As a supporting partner,

to make him an emotional fool

it’s her kingdom, her ridiculous rules

To edit her funny photos,
 for a fantastic look
and upload entire stuff in d’ face book
