A poem..

In my tenth standard we had a poem by Ogden Nash, "This Is Going To Hurt Just A Little Bit".. A very interesting poem. As an excersise we were supposed to write a poem.. Here's what I wrote.. one of the very rare occassions when i managed to get a good.. :) ..

(Mrs Bakshi is the name of the principal of my school)

"Life's Like That.."

Date tenth, month July,
It was very hot, I'll not lie.
There was an announcement in assembly,
That Mrs Bakshi wanted to see me.
Shock for me 'n' others too,
Their stares, glares, 'hmmm's n 'hooo's.
'Forgive me or I shall die',
These were the words I must cry.
Knocking the door, "Ma'am you wanted to see me?",
(Please say no, your yes shall kill me).
'Yes, yes, come in my dear',
Was I still alive or dead with fear?
'You've topped in the board exams, congratulations for that.'
Instead of slap she gave me a pat.
Keep it up she quoted,
Up in seventh sky I floated.

..........

I know its simple n silly.. but i love it.. :)
