LONG STORY SHORT

-this I wrote up, when I managed to sum up my situation the following morning, in the CCU-

Bike meets bus!
Bus loses schedule and a lil’ paint,
Bike loses rider and a lil’ petrol,
Rider loses bearings and a lil’ blood,
Rider’s friend loses peace of mind and a lil’ chicken curry,
Rider’s parents lose a happy weekend trip and some money,
Hospital loses a bed and gains a big bill,
Nurse loses a pen and this small piece of paper!

NEAR DEATH BLUES
-this i wrote when i was lying in the hospital bed, with just a few scratches after an encounter with a public bus-

I wrote this when I was down, lying
Coz I thought I was dying.
If God hadn’t heard me crying,
I surely must’ve been flying!
But, it was just death spying
And Lord, was he trying,
Coz he had me in shackles and tying
But the great Lord was certainly not buying.
