The Snake and The Frog


Skipitty , Whipitty, Ribitty frog...
Sat on a moss green log...
Looking at the starlit sky....
Wondering.. why it shone so bright..?
Viley,Wiley,Coily snake..
Slithered on the edge of the lake...
I am hungry he thought, and I need to hog..

I see Skipitty , Whipitty, Ribitty frog...
"Frog , Frog"..said the snake..
'Why do u look at the sky?''
"Look into my eye..."
''I will sing u a lullaby'
Said the frog to the Snake..
' Go take a break..
''I will look, and fall into a trance..
That will be ur chance..
'Not in this life..dude..
''As usual you are screwed'
With a skippity skip ,whippity whop..
Away went the Skipitty , Whipitty, Ribitty frog...

Reflections..and Recollections......

Sauntering through these pacific thorroughfares..
Thinking quietly..abt the number of grey hairs..
These heavily..veined and wasted arms..reflecting all of my age..
Telling myself...I donot need a stage..
Holding back the tears..that cut through me fine...
I surely have lost count of time....

Walking through these meadows of solitude.
Wearing an 'I dont care attitude'..
Listening to the birds singing on the pine..
Trying to pick up an unfamiliar line..
Letting God decide what to do with his gifts..
As I wander alone through..this mist...
I will complete , oneday, this journey of mine..
So what if I have lost count of time?..
