This too shall pass
- Subhashree Kishore


Having a sudden attack of gall,
Raju said, "I'll tell all".
"Less of it, Less of it"
Cried the aces at audit.

Raju blared "I did cook books"
The missus perked up, "What cook books?
Get me one and THE BABY NEEDS NEW SHOES"
"Story of my life", Raju mused.

He weeps behind the bars
Pining for his luxury cars
His mate says "You are a fool"
You forgot the golden rule.

"Never worry, never be sorry"
The baba explains looking cross
"Why volunteer to wear the albatross?"
Raju claps his forehead, "Alas!"

"Don't worry, this shall pass
Stints in jail are no bed of nails
They raise my stock with people
I am now holier than a church steeple"
