This was a little like summer of 69 – when the sex was dirty and the air was clean. Back then, I was young and energetic and didn`t need to eat two capsules of Spirulina (try it!) just to stay awake. Just in case you are wondering, I eat five tablets of Spirulina when I am meeting a girl in the evening.
Anyway, lets stick to important things…I have been a little busy of late and hence couldn`t come up with an article which can be claimed as ‘funny`.
What does a failed writer do in such circumstances? Does he go to great lengths to please his readers? Nope…being a sissy, I also opted for the easy way out.
Like a TV channel running cricket match re-runs during non-cricket days…here come my poems written when I was darker & had pimples on my face & ambition was to drink a whole bottle of beer without adding water and ice.
No Longer Innocent
It was her smile,
and I knew, she was looking at me
I checked myself,
my hair was in place,
the sun shone in my shoes,
I was doing good.
Our eyes met,
She blushed.
Her eyes sparkled,
on seeing me.
Am I lucky or what?
The shy girl looked down,
I followed suit.
Her innocent face…ohh..
Now she was looking at me!!
I took a step forward.
She waved a Hi,
I waved too. Twice.
Somebody behind me moved.
She walked away with him.
She no longer seemed innocent.

“ambition was to drink a whole bottle of beer without adding water and ice” that’s Jammy at his funny best…
cute, sad and funny…
Very cute poem but it sounds strangely familiar to the mass email that was spread around work the other week.
Just wondering if your wife has come back from the vacation.. just asking ..

i wait for your posts these days. 🙂 beer with ice was good. but otherwise the post was a little disappointing.
When you are that young, even a beer with soda and ice would leave you with a hangover 🙂
“I rubbed my shoes on the back of my trousers” too would have fitted here.
