I've made friends with a colony of roaches off late. One of them - Pat, I call him is now a dear bro. He's educated me on how to win the approval of the opposite sex (His technique might be somewhat roachy, though I've got a hunch that it may work to desired consequences when tried upon the homo sapiens). And his sagely counsel is almost free...
Secret - I had to write this poem as a fee.
I'm glad you're there, my roachy friend
coz I needn't go each time - "wassup at your end!?"
I'm up all night and so are you
You can eat almost anything- wow! me too!!!
I have my cup of coffee and you're on the sink with sauce
kitchen's our little meeting place - no one there to boss...
We both love the Beatles - bros that we are,
You're a life savior - even if we can't buy beer together in the bar
"I know you'll surely miss me - once my hols are done...
why don't you come with me to college - we'll have loads of fun!"
"But who will eat your mum's tasty pies, they shouldn't ever go waste!"
"Oh! true you are, I get your point - and mess food's bad to taste"
World Outside -you think this is weird? - Wall-E has one too...
Take mine advice - it'll do you good - the cockroach is best for you...
"Hey Roach!...for memory's sake, i'll take some pics - I need some quick poses
God bless him, yaar - whoever said that Life's a pocket full of roaches!"
People! I need help. You've probably got an idea on how bored I am. Next thing I might do -> hit on a female roach. So puh leez!
Girls, I'd like to try Pat's gyaan on you instead!

ReplyDelete@Smriti The idea, as you happen to call it, stems from some serious stuff going on in my kitchen ;-) & we can't do without poems, can we? convey more in less space, and less time! some others that you might be interested in - by yours truly http://bit.ly/15njog
ReplyDelete@Mohit Dude, sahi pakda re... :-) Now that's interpreting data! :-D
@Ash - i've decided that since the college blog gets more visits from people interested only in 'college details', i'll post all the random (more interesting) stuff here...though nitwchronicles.com remains... :-)
Interesting muse uve got there... ;-)
ReplyDeletefrom..."karmic reaction from the roaches getting crushed beneath my palm daily in the kitchen" ... to...."I've made friends with a colony of roaches off late" .... you've come a long way :D
