This is a tribute to all my lectures, specially those that leave me bored. I hope this one is atleast worth a laugh when I sit in one of those boring courses again.
Lectures
It was a bright and clear day
On a ever repeating thursday
Too bad I had to be in class,
wishing I could give it a pass.
Sometimes courses we have to take,
our interest in which is completely fake
The prof was playing his boring part
His talks leave you completely out of sort
I was busy with online chat
I know I sound like a brat
While I was checking for new downloads
He was talking about cryptographic codes
Suddenly, I heard a familiar word
My treacherous hand, flew up like a bird
Everyone was looking at me
Had to give them something to see
Made a response on the go,
recalling something I read long ago
Luckily my answer was right
Good thing it wasn’t an embarrasing sight
The prof seemed happy with me
I just hope he leaves me be.
I wanted to write this for a couple of weeks now. But just could not get a start in mind. But then atop the tallest structure in Coba inspiration struck and my poem was complete 🙂
Sitting atop an ancient pyramid I pondered.
To beat this view, it will take while
So wrong was I as moments later, beside me,
I saw a kid with the largest smile
The sense of wonder you mind can only capture
when it records faces that mirror a similar rapture
Memorable moments do not a smile make
A brilliant smile infact, is what gives them a memorable take
A parent’s proud smile on your graduation day
Or your smile of accomplishment with your first pay
The shy smile of girl on her first date
Or the wry understanding smile of your best mate
The sad smile when your plans sort of tank
Or the devious smirk of a well accomplised prank
The conspiratory smile of a secret that supposed to be kept sush
Or colons and brackets that give your chat the emotional push
The toothless smile of an enamoured little child
Or the carefree laughter of a kid who is just wild
Every smile has its special place in our heart
To cause them, should make you proud of your part
Sometimes these smiles do not get their deserved credit
It can make someone’s day, when without reason you smile a little bit
Never underestimate the importance of a charming smile
They are all noted, when people make your file
Sometimes, a smile might be hard to come by
It’s easy though, after all, it takes very few muscles to try 🙂
