Thank you for dropping by! I would have given this blog a different title – maybe Mindless Meandering! Do not expect anything heavy or serious, or for that matter, anything romantic.
I don’t know if you agree with me – we need to look at life with a sense of humour (so what if it is wry) – and on occasion – laugh at ourselves, our follies and our foibles! This is exactly what you can expect out here. A suggestion – do read the title or the header, followed by the poem – because the header is a part of the message.
Hopefully this is just what the doctor ordered – poems that make you laugh! So just loosen up and then read these…at your own peril of course!

This poem, and the one that precedes this, were inspired by some songs that I heard in a prayer/condolence meeting…
They used my branches for your cradle
And you used my branches for your bonfire
I was used to make your dream furniture
And they’ll probably use me for your coffin/pyre…

The last days of this year – 2009 had me thinking. Is the thought of ushering in a New Year as exciting to each and every one of us? May be not. Forgive me for departing from the old tradition of posting witty 4 liners – I have made an exception here – and promise to shift the following poem to another page in a few days…
The New year is just another year
Ask the man who has no shelter
One more winter without a roof
One more summer in which to swelter
One more year without any food
One more year of that racking cough
New Year may be a great thing for us
But for the poor man it is quite tough
He prays that God grant him luck
And enough water for a daily bath
Enough speed-breakers to slow those cars
So he may sleep safely on the footpath
He prays that God give him some food
Just a few morsels to fill his tummy
His need is to fill his stomach every day
He doesn’t crave for food that’s yummy
Forgive me friends if I have spoilt your mood
If I have deprived you of some laughter
But even a poet who writes humorous lines
Has to think of the life hereafter…

I have a computer printer
That takes up too much ink
Each time I want a printout
My heart begins to sink…

So instead of hearing the engine’s purr
I setttled for a deep sigh…

This was written during the first dotcom boom/bubble, when some investors were blindly betting on dotcom companies
Cupid’s arrow struck the investor
He asked her “Where are you from?”
Coyly she replied “Does it matter sir?

Thank you for visiting this world of rhyme! These poems/4 liners were written by me when there wasn’t much else to do. Many of them are topical. I hope you enjoyed them. Many people have asked me where they can find poems that make you laugh! I hope this site has been of use to them. I would really appreciate it if you could post your comments on this blog.
And do visit this blog often – I will be posting at least 1 poem a day!
Should you wish me to send you the occasional 4 liner to your inbox (for free), please click below -
Send Me The Occasional 4 Liner (Just Once In A While)
I have also reproduced some lines that I have written for brochures and advertisements.
Should you need me to write a poem, a witty line, a slogan or a headline for you – maybe for an upcoming presentation, a brochure, a song that you are producing, or an advertisement, please feel free to contact me (by posting a comment out here)
Needless to say that the poems in here are copyright. Should you need to reproduce any one poem on your site or publication, please do so after contacting me (by posting a comment out here) and providing a back-link to this page.
Happy Reading!
