A fellow was late for his train.
Cause the road was flooded in the rain

He parked his car on a side

Chanced his luck on a MRT ride
But in the flood fell down the drain.


He hurt his leg and was in pain
But started walking on the side lane. 
He wanted to reach at any cost
But his bearings he had lost
All his heroics were in vain.

He missed the train in the rain
And stood up his girlfriend named Jane
By now Jane was really mad
And the fellow got it bad
As he groveled before her again and again.

‘You are putting our relationship in strain’
Said Ms. Jane to this man named Shane
‘If you are late once more
I’ll surely show you the door
So never be late again, is that plain.’

A Tribute to Team India

We all wanted India to be number one,

But matches were lost rather than won,

At last with God's blessings & grace

We all can say with a proud face

That we have got out place under the sun.

***

Sachin, Dhoni, Sehwag and  Dravid the wall,

With the batsmen and bowlers standing  tall'

Have given every team a spanking

And have topped the ICC Test ranking.

And the entire country is having a ball.

*** 

The graceful game of Cricket

Played with bat, ball and wicket.

With talent and pluck

And a lot of luck…

To fame can be a one way ticket.

The folks are nice, the leaders rough,
For all of us Indians, Life is tough.
But after living here a while
We take it all with a smile
To survive, a sense of Humor is enough.
(2)
Poor infrastructure and stinking drains,
An economy still dependent on rains.
Crooks are the bosses
Life, a sum of losses
And now Maoists have started hijacking trains.
(3)
Next to slums, there are many a high-rise,
The people work and leaders take the prize.
While you rough it out
Without a question or doubt
Criminals and politicians live life king size.
(4)
Will this match result in a win or loss?
And when will Dhoni win the toss?
Who give a damn for health-care
We just want to sit and stare
At TV and watch Bigg Boss

Most unusual case, said the nurse with a frown,
This patients Blood Pressure moves up and down.
The Doc came and said
With a shake of his head
It moves with the SENSEX, you clown.

For high tech gadgets, it's a mad mad charge
Live life king-size, live life large'.
Its both sad and funny
In lieu of food or money
Even the beggers want a mobile recharge.

***
 
Akshaya, the actor of many a hue,
Was asked what else he would like to do?
He said I have fulfilled my passion
And achieved my secret ambition
Of acting in a film that was ‘BLUE’.
 
***
 
The Nobel peace prize for Obama,
Is a stunt and political drama.
If it goes downhill at this rate
On some future date………..
They might as well give it to Osama

***


That's what cricket is all about,
Indians may well sulk and pout,
After a day of top ranking,
Pakistanis gave us a spanking.
They lost to Aussies and we were out.


*** 
  
There was this guy called Dhoni,
From Cricket he made a lot of money.
He thought he was fearless
But he got a bit careless
And all fans are crying over the 'Anhoni'.
 
***

 

It's a tale all old timers tell,
Be humble when you play well.
Even the mightiest batsmen fall,
The moment they stop looking at the ball.
And most of the fans will give you hell.

( 1.) 
Shashi thought embracing austerity was crass 
Flying economy was like travelling cattle class 
Before he could say Twitter 
His party had the jitters
And Holy Cows are not going to let this one pass. 

(2.) 
Ghulam Nabi Azad did everything he could do 
Advising the nation about watching TV too 
So to curb the population 
The health ministery of the nation 
Went to Mexico and imported Swine Flu. 
(3.) 
Television's gain is cinemas loss 
Big money sends everything else for a toss 
Reality TV is in fashion 
It's everyone's current passion 
And Big B now stands for Big Boss.
