An Ode to our Mother
If you're in Wadala
and you just can't fathom why
you probably should come visit
Veermata Jijabai!
And when you see a massive edifice in beige
Looming up in your wake
you know you're at the motherland
and definitely not outer space!
As you step through the hallowed gates
you will be halted in your tracks
by a man with a scary moustache
who, without id, will make you turn right back
Sneak past his watchful gaze
and you might just make it to class
only to realize you're a half hour late
for a lecture on relative molecular mass!
And as the lecture goes on and on
you can't help but wonder
'When the hell will this torture end?
I'd much rather be struck by thunder!'
And when that monologue finally ends
relief courses through your veins
and all of a sudden you realize that you
are hungrier than Bane!
Off you go to the canteen then
to feed that beast in your tummy
but you cant decide what to order
because all the food is just so yummy
And by the time you make up your mind
the canteen is packed to the rafters
and getting out of there in one piece
is definitely no laughing matter
Bathura and mountain dew in hand
you wander into the quad'
to see if you can find some friends
who're culpable of election fraud!
(ok, so that didn't make sense, but hey, rhyming is quite the task!)
All of a sudden your break is over
and back to class you must go
only to realize that there is
a rather tedious practical in store;
And as you step into the lab
realization dawns upon you
that you've left your journal back at home
and that you're really screwed
You smile rather sheepishly
and try to sneak through in one piece
but that nosey lab attendant
just won't his complaints cease!
And when you're finally done for the day
and you think it couldn't have been worse
you meet a friend who got screwed so bad
it's like he was cursed!
And suddenly life is rosy again
and you want to celebrate
so you head back to the canteen
to go gain some weight!
Soon its time to head back home
and you just can't help but wonder
what sort of horrors are in store for the 'morrow
and whether you might be torn asunder;
For those of you say poetry is a waste
Try talking about the motherland
Through doggerel verse and poetry
during lectures you can't withstand!
So remember, my dear slowpokes
that even the wisest of men
cherish a little nonsense
every now and then!
P.S:
No offence intended!
If you still feel offended, go buy yourself a sense of humour!
So until next time , keep a stiff upper lip and keep commenting!
and you just can't fathom why
you probably should come visit
