Being a luxury
he could not afford it actually
wanted it stubbornly.
Being very impish
he behaved rather very foolish
opting to be lavish.
Being a spendthrift
turned bankrupt in a drift
never was thrifty.

The rains play with me
so do the squirrels
as such both are up to pranks
they are mischievous and free
In the morning it was bright and sunny
I placed my carpets out in the open yard
the rains poured for a few minutes
I ran to save them in a manner funny.
Could be similar in the afternoon too
I lay on my bed looking through
the sun was cheerful and brilliant in tone
the rains poured and were torrential too.
The squirrel entered through the front door
I usually keep the door open all through
never did the squirrel made its way in
I have to firmly close the main door.
My dining room opens out to the garden
I watch the greenery around
the squirrel came through the entrance
the little one has become a burden.
The ways I am mocked through the day
seem not a few but too many
small incidents put me to task
well, life works out that way.
My writing has gone dry
I seem to be in a spell dry
being the joke in a way
I write much in a day
when my heart cries out
emotions do the magic throughout
when I am placid in a sense
my thinking is not dense
my thoughts become dry
I have nothing to buy.
It is an endless wait
would have to bear it
for how many years
I do not know
it is going to go down
the generations in all
we being the first
pass on to our children
then to the grandchildren
from a voluminous form
it shrinks into a paltry
finally turns to nothing
is it the destiny ?
one has to remain with hands tied
spreading out involves money
most times the expenditure
turns not fruitful and worthy
becomes a tedium in years
a withdrawal descends
we like to abandon the whole
walk away with an empty hand.
