Worry Me

Worry Me

 

Distinguished Alumnus

incredibly prestigious

as an unrivaled recognition

by our mother institution

a lifetime pride possession

that our pal Lalatendu has won

towering over many bests

enriching to humans, the assets.

Lala is a sure and clear winner

being a lifetime achiever all-rounder

in arts crafts, sports, and music

on and off the stage he is unique

in technology and management

his immature exit RSP still laments.

over smarted he the guidelines

that apex board has to redefine

to the call of our Alma[mater

It is lala and Lala none other.

His seventy batch Rengcolians

danced forgetting age as hooligans

as if Lala has incarnated in each of them

and they are all Lala winning the acclaim.

But deranged friends a few like me

search follies in the ocean of glee

and as I feel I must speak out

to friends’ bondage, I cannot flout.

Did madam Shanti had a proud feel

owning a spouse with superb skill?

Did she not feel neglected and perturbed?

when Lsla’s love for his hobbies could not be curbed

not sharing the loads off from her shoulder.

Had she not grudged or did she not suffer?

Now at her unfortunate ailing state

she must be in need of Lala]’s love in spate.

Need we a confirmation from Shanti madam

Lala’s laurel she loves from her heart’s bottom.

And I am wrong on my perception and apprehension

her Lala is a divine boy beyond my mortal comprehension.

But still Hey Madam! Hug him tight never loosen your hold

Extra ordinaries are always fickle as history has told

I need to see a hearty smile from Shanti Madam

to accept this laurel of Lala as deserved and awesome.

All these Madam are in a lighter vein

share I, madam, your pride, Save me from Lala’s cane.
