Where have all the pockets gone?


In the quest for pants with pockets, I curse
The faux slits only make the absence worse.
But where does the phone go?
And the cash, keys and Polo*?
Its all a conspiracy to sell you a purse.

*Or breath mint of your choice.

Left Handers' Day


Negative names with no real cause. *
Sinister are the terms for south-paws.
Left-handers unite!
Left is the new right.
Just stay away from circular saws. **

The Red Shawl


We used to talk about our plans, hopes and The Dream,
But the chats became shorter, rarer as work reined supreme.
Oh! If only I had known.
The love I would have shown.
And I'd talk of something better than flavors of ice cream.

O Captain! My Captain!



With a face that was surely made of rubber,
And the genius to make us blubber,
and laugh and panic and sigh.
A rare, genuinely nice guy.
I loved all your movies ( except maaybe Flubber ? :')

Do the twist


Is it sad if one's best belongs to the past?
A fine legacy can be ruined by the last.
A Master of Surprise
Has a duty to reprise.
But expecting the unexpected can get old fast.

It was M Night Shyamalan's birthday a few days ago. Of course, I remembered the career graph joke and sighed/smiled (smighed?)

California Dreaming ( of water)



Conserve water now or later cry
The lakes and rivers are running dry
The water cops are out.
Because its a drought.
That's totally why I let my plants die.
