Nothing's worth the worriment

Pricked up ears
tail dangling between hind paws
tawny lamps, flicker and beckon
grab hold of silky ears
mumble nonsense at the twin sunsets
a brief moment of immobility
and then it comes...
like an upsurge of ol faithful
From the depth of her doggy innards
a great big horsy snort
specks of canine goo drip down my face
adorable even so
wickedly accurate also.

There is a young girl named Fernandez,
to her friends she is known as "and all" is
Cause you know she's everyones pal,
and just to rhyme i've put in 'canal'
The comments box her idea is.

ps-lovya sharon.

Short history of Thursday morning auto ride to college.
Jump into auto at Royapettah, try to edge away from suspicious looking dust particles on seat. Pull out goggles and clamp over nose. Onward James!
Navigating through Ellis road is always exciting. This particular James is not very careful and also very fast. A good combination if you like sluicing through closely packed habitation for entertainment.
Slow down anna, thats my turn. Whoopie! never knew an auto could do a side wheelie before. Hold on i think i lost my wallet. Ya the one i was going to pay you from. Abrupt stop... hit the purple magnolias painted on the steel bars in front of me. No problem, its only cartilage, it mends easily, my nose that is. Two seconds later, wallet safely in hand, we speed away again. Cycles, scooters, bullock carts all fade into blur as we skirt them expertly and speed away in happy abandon. Reach college all too quickly.
Another day another trip.

Conversion lesson number one…(especially for Christy Bharath and the Democratic Republic of Uruguay)

Heres how I know God exists.
Once a young man went to a friend’s house on a bright Sunday afternoon. He saw a beautiful model of the solar system lying about in the drawing room. He asked his friend, who had made it. His friend said “Nobody.” The young man got annoyed and demanded to know the name of the creator. His friend insisted that it had just come about and no one had made it. The young man got up and began to march out the door when his friend stopped him and asked, “why are you angry with me? You believe that the real solar system with the sun, the moon and the planets just happen to come about and no one made them. Then why can’t you believe that this small model of something so spectacular just happened to be?”

My right eye feels like the weary surface of a well worn carpet... Lets see if that can be put to rhyme.

there was a young girl named sue.
her eye drops she failed to renew.
she worried and cared,
cause everyone stared,
and worked herself into a stew.
