Infectious FLU!!!
Here I blew, and there I blew
With one big sneeze, "AaaaaaChhhoooooo!"
Out of the window, I flew!
I landed bare. Don't ask me 'where'?
With only, ONLY my handkerchief.
"And No! I was not upto some mischief".
I looked up to see,
Almost on my knee.
There stood a bear,
Who just wouldn't care.
And, as he lifted his feet,
I could hardly speak...
Just then, came a sneeze, "AaaaaaaChhhhoooooo!"
As I blew, up, and up I flew.
And when I looked down,
I saw the bear frown!
Ah! What a narrow escape,
From the mutilating Ape!
The very moment I heard a sound,
I think from the ground.
No! that was a SNEEZE,
That caused a storm, in the trees!
The bear shot up, way higher than me,
And out he shouted "Whoopee!"
As I looked up to see,
There was no more of him to be!
I went on Sneezing,
Easing, Squeezing, Wheezing!
Till I hit a flying Crane,
To gift a fracture, to his brain.
And we both, toppled down,
The poor Crane, holding is crown!
I, I...I could feel a sneeze coming....
Oh No! not now, what a timing!
I blocked my nose with a hanky,
Almost thread-bare and lanky.
But, who can stop a sneeze with-in?
It came, and flew me, there-in.
But, the worst thing , I ever expected,
As I looked my heart dreaded.
Was to see a sneezing Crane,
With a fracture in his brain!
Soon, I landed on a Giant,
A fifteen feet tall, Elephant.
And the last thing, I wanted to do,
Was to spread my Infectious Flu!

Facebook!
I remember, when I was a kid, What fun we had, what not we
did!
Jumping out of the school van, straight to the open fields
we ran.
Books and bags, lay at the door, shoes and socks, on the
floor.
Ah! Not that, we were NOT shouted at, "You naughty,
mischievous brat!,
Pick up the things from the floor, before you step outside
the door."
And yes, we did what we were told, After all, who likes the
dinner cold?
And so we ran to the park, It closes at six, just before
dark.
Eye-spy, pitto and gali cricket, my brother would get the
most wicket!
Cuts and bruise, wounds and lumps, I still have a few fond
bumps!
The grass and the mud, the stones and the sand, We knew each
of them, by the touch of a hand.
But, best of all was when it rained, we somehow, had to, had
to, get drained!
And what bizarre excuses we came up with, I think that is
when I discovered my creative bit!
"On my way, from the park, I fell in a hole, in the
dark!"
And my brother would add, "You know how big was the
hole?"
Looked like a monster's soup bowl! With toads and frogs
floating around,
Thank the Lord, that we, didn't get drowned!"
And sometimes an excuse more giant, I added,
"We had to rescue a drowning elephant!"
And here and there as we lied about, we saw our mothers eyes
pop-out!
And to punish us, she gave a dose, of the horrifying story
of Pinocchio's nose!
Oh! I'm sorry to deviate, the rest of the story, is
tee-vee-ate.
Where was I, where we have been? Ah yes! It all started from
the screen.
Till now, what we have heard, so far our children our
concerned,
Is that never never ever let them, near your TV set.
It clogs their brain, and eats their head, and kills
creativity dead!
I know you will tell me, "We send them straight to bed,
with their computers instead!"
Ah Yes! Its true there is lots to learn, as you browse your
way.
But are you absolutely sure, that, that is all on the
buffet?
All Right. All Right, You will say, "They are on
Twitter, twittering away,
Or on Facebook at the most,
with online friends having a toast!"
"The kids, they are, grown-ups you see,
And we give them enough space to be!"
But, why not invite them over instead, and offer some nice
wine and bread?
It'll be so nice to shake hands and see, they are alive and
warm, the online bee!
What about the friends we see, when we are not on the
working spree!
There is no time to say 'Hello!' or Call, But on facebook,
we're active to one and all.
I'm not against facebook, no, not me. I have an account you
see!
But yes, if I may suggest, once in a while have a guest!
