Here’s me trying to get into some sort of blogform. I am trying to see if what is true for out of form batsmen is true for me as well. Spend some time on the pitch and the feet will start moving. Lets see if my fingers start moving as well. Had quite heavy rains in Mumbai today. Kindof inspired this silly rhyme. No reflection on the quality of poems on the iland, which incidentally is superb by any standard. Again thought if I should post it, but decided what the heck. So here we go…

Jump up, jump down,

Just don’t break your crown

Whats the theme today,

If its not to drown!

Raindrops dripping from umbrellas,

Hair and drenched gown,

Sweet music to the ears,

For residents of this Town!!

Jump into the puddle,

Splash water around,

I enjoy the look of your face,

With that stupid frown.

Look at the colours abound,

The sky is steel grey,

The earth is verdant green

And the waters deep brown.

Run here, run there,

Pull others into the shower.

Ignore their laughs and curses

For, today I am a clown.

Lets stop here for the day,

For your situation I mourn,

And apologies for heaping insults on

Adjectives, verbs and noun!!

Adios!!
