Butterflies are forever!



Ah!  There is a butterfly in the making!
Eggs to Caterpillar,Caterpillar to Chrysalis,
Chrysalis to butterfly the story unfolds
Wow!  A butterfly is born!

How it came about
Is elementary, rudimentary
Yet flowery, cheery, deary
A perfect commentary!

Flapping wings it flies
Dropping down it sits
So alluring, so enduring
Oh! Flowery fly! Butterfly!

A visual delight as it takes flight
Ear candy and treat 
sweetening the air
As it pat-pats the wings

Comes in swarms, Comes in pairs
Comes single, mesmerizing all the same!
Spinning a yearning into the minds
Why not me, we a butterfly?
Flying carefree? Living carefree?

For men in love their lover is a butterfly!
Let there be million butterflies
Let them fly forever, yea the love is forever
And the butterflies forever!

We are space debris , we make merry in space!





We are space debris
 we make merry in space!
Circling the Earth as space rings
around and around

Earth aspired space as it’s place
We were it’s proud emissaries
We were parts of satellites
Space station, tool, kits

We dislodged, displaced, disintegrated
As satellites went berserk, exploded, collided,
Station disgorged,  tool and kits free float
Bingo, bang, crash, woosh!

Now Earth is no longer our master
We are our own masters ha,ha,ha!
We follow our rules as we wish
Choosing to circle, collide, disintegrate
With pure abandon and glee

Now the Earth is scratching it’s head
How to make us disappear
To get rid of the unpleasant rings
Around as we are space waste
Space litter, space junk  and all space nonsense!

Hey! Is there a way you can do that?
Take up our challenge
Yes I see you planning something new
To see us off our sojourn

Still no clear plan in sight!
Ok, wish you all the best to get rid of us
Till then we go round,  round and round
and make merry, yahoo!

No Rocket Science Just Racquet Tennis!



Tennis Sweet Tennis!
No rocket science here , just pure racquet  Tennis!
The game of Serve, ace and deuce
Sheer thrill when they
Volley , rally and keep the ball in play
Points scored on ball drop one side

Watch  in awe and wonder
When they slug it out
There  back hand, here fore hand,
Cross courting, lobbing, overhead smashing
Game after game, set after set
Love, 15, 30, 40 , deuce, game, set, tie break
Wow! It is slam bang tennis!

The crowds revel at the players
Covering the court corner to corner
Net to baseline, wide and across
Demonstrating their stamina
And the test of human skills

Crowds have their favorites
Stars of their countries,
Players of their  choice
With fair sex in their gorgeous tennis shorts
And macho men in their colorful shorts

Grand slams after grand slams come
Different  winners in different slams
Some keep winning and emerge champions
Heroes , darlings ,celebrities watched by the whole world
On TV,  On  net , play themselves into history!

Yea  all tennis , sweet tennis!
Wow wow stars and wow wow tennis!
Take ur seat in the galleries
To see the games in play
Enjoy, applaud, encore!
No rocket Science,  just racquet tennis!
