Otherwise, it's all very wise

I long perspire,
with an unending desire,
to be a millionaire
with all the pomp and fanfare.

But, isn't it filthy
just getting old and wealthy?

I have a fad to dress fashionable,
low waist jeans of all brand label,
mufflers around the neck
costing a hefty cheque.

But, aren't these external charms
like needless traffic jams?

I love to court a pretty girl,
take her around,
two of us, on a merry-go-round,
with chocolates and flowers
for the love of ours.

But, will we grow older
together,
forever and ever
or never?

On a lighter note,
shamelessly here I quote;

I swear every morning after
to see the sun early,
jog merrily,
and follow it regularly.
Exercising the legs,
bending the backs,
somehow, this idea drags.

I have a yearning to cook,
by hook or crook,
or all by the book.
Thus far, kitchen has been a place
with often eggs on my face.

I religiously plan the night before
to clean the room and wipe the floor,
only I think more and more,
ending up enjoying a long snore.

Thus, I opine
Otherwise, it's all very wise.

Ah! Not Again...

I sneak out with the house keys at 11'.

Folks asleep,

The Watchman's at the floor,

Doing his security rounds,

Blind Date at 12' 

Ah! not again...

I zoom on my bike,

Engine chugs,brakes fail.

I Ram into the signal post,

Cops,bent bike and the fine.

Ah! not again...

I walk by the street,

To catch the bus,

Boots trip on the banana peel,

Bottoms bruised, hairs stung.

Ah! not again...

I hit the pub at 1'.

Look for my blind date,

There she goes

My aunt nearby.

Ah! not again... 

I sit sober with the mug of beer,

Bladder feels heavy,

I run to pee,

Door's jammed and the Zip's stuck, 

Ah! not again... 

I wait by the taxi stand at 2'.

A rogue stares and the gay smiles,

One's behind with the gun,

The other, bent on my ass,

Ah! not again...

I reach my apartment building at 3'.

Too tired to take the stairs,

I take the elevator to floor 10.

Power goes out,

Stuck at 5th,

Folks wake up at 5'.

Ah! not again...
