 Sunbirds, bulbuls and tailorbirds

Their calls I'm sure you've often heard

In my balcony they sing

Dance and flap their wings

My sanity in bad times they've preserved

Corona Blues

 Cough, sneeze, fever

The very thought makes me shiver

Do you think, my dear friend,

Corona will ever end?

If you ask me, I'd say 'Never'

The Unhappy Ass

It's such a shame said the ass
That humans so utterly crass
Are called by my name
How can they think I look the same
As an uncouth, lumpen mass?

Neuro Linguistic Programming in Toilet, Andy Murray Style

Read Andy's Story on Toilet pep talk here http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2013/mar/30/andy-murray-toilet-us-open

The Brit tennis player Andy Murray

Was losing his game, never heard ‘Hurray’

He ran to toilet, we don’t know what he was doing

They say he tried Neuro Linguistic Programming

And bang he won, now he goes there thrice a day!

Salvatorian Encounters

My blogger friend Vivek Patwardhan recently visited Sri Lanka to celebrate his anniversary, as well as to try out his new camera. While on the Madhu Boat Safari, an unexpected creature was sighted by the boatman as they cleared the mangroves. 

While the boat executed a filmy Bollywood style quick complete turn, amidst exclamations and "EEEEks", Vivek kept on clicking and saying "Varanous Salvatore" to himself  several times.  A fancy Zooological name for what the boatman called Water Monitor. According to Vivek's Zoological memories, this creature is a carnivore.

Here's what actually happened .....

A Class Reptilia Varanous Salvatore,
Watching these two walking on the shore,
Saw the lady in great admiration
As her husband yelled in agitation,
"Run, run, this fellow is a carnivore...."

But she smiled, and said "How cool, how cool!,
There is always an exception to any Zoologic rule,
Since it's a photo you seek
I'm willing to scream "Eeeek"
But the eyes of the fellow simply make me drool"....

So he stopped treating the chap as an adversary,
Floated right on, giving him glances cursory,
And Salvatore went back home,
In a splash of silver foam,
He had simply wanted to say "Happy Anniversary !"

Casanova's Gold

Promoter of crisis-ridden Kingfisher Airlines and UB Group Chairman Vijay Mallya made an offering of gold bricks, weighing about three kg, at the famous hill shrine of Lord Venkateswara on his 58th birthday. Link

Vijay Mallya, the illustrious Vittal's son
Was a casanova and romeo rolled in one
For atonement, he offered gold
As he grew fiftyeight years old
When girls left him saying there was no more fun!

Sweet but Problematic

There was a young woman who was diabetic

She ate well and avoided exercise hectic

She ate a lot of ice-cream n cherry

"Oh, Life is all about making merry"

Her doctor diagnosed her 'sweet but problematic.'
