On Winning a Race!
'Not all can win in any race!
You just improve your mental pace;
Keep your smiling, cheerful, a face;
Never give up your wild goose- chase,
Until you win, in any case! '

I Am Back From Work!
I am back from work;
There isn’t a greeting soul!
The table is as I’d left;
Just biscuits and coffee cold!
Oh, what a life so boring?
Same beans-cup awaiting;
Something is quite missing!
Must be spousal love!

God (rictameter-odd)
God
Loved man most,
Among all creatures
He’d made, with love and finesse;
So, bestowed man, His semblance, with soul,
And conscience, with freedom
Of will to choose good
O’er bad, like
God!

A Song to Meggie Dear!
Oh Meggie, you’re a dear;
It seems you lived in fear;
A poem gave you tear;
I feel so sad to hear!
But, God is always near;
We are but weaklings mere;
With God always in rear,
Be happy through the year.
For, Jesus is Savior! x3

Happy Valentine’s Day Greeting
Flowers fade;
Leaves shrivel;
Trees wither.
Hearts stop beating;
Minds stop working;
Limbs stop moving.
True love ’tween hearts however,
Stays on forever,
Precious, priceless and pretty as ever!

The Power of God
Can you
Count the stars in the sky,
Call each one by name,
Speak to them by day and night,
Listen to their complaints,
See them as the eyes of God,
Command them to fall?
Nay, NEVER.
But,
God alone CAN.

To Leaders of All Nations
Stop putting innocents behind bars;
Encourage cycling than going by cars;
Don’t make the UNO, a farce;
What if there’s some water in Mars?
Stop spending billions in futile wars;
Stop wasting trillions in reaching the stars!

The Day of the Chimp (rictameter)
Some day,
A chimpanzee
Would try to read a book,
Much like how human beings do!
But how much it would understand- who knows?
That too, on ‘Origin of Man’!
And scratch its head, ‘Poor man,
Let chimps train him
Some day! ’

Warning of Global Warming!
A Polar Bear Pleads:
‘The icy-ground of polar caps
Is melting in a rapid way;
I’m perched atop an ice-berg tip;
I may not be alive next day! ’
“Our existence is endangered;
Stop warming up of earth, Mankind! ”
