Sinecure
SINECURE
(Sinecure: an office with little or no work but good profits)

A mosquito on hand...I smiled at her...
evaded she, my eyes, dug deep into my skin....
‘zrrrrrrrrrr'...and sipped my blood sans fear!
Again I smiled; rather I grinned!
She looked with dozy eyes at me, her prey;
aloud then laughed and tried a smart take off...
stumbled a bit and seasaw fumbled her way
to the nearby chair and managed to cough!
She crawled like a silent walking doll
nonplussed in faze and ambled precariously
towards the cabinet at the corner wall...
looked at the files and left my room lazily!
Few weeks later, during my evening stroll
along the side of a drainage channel
I found that mosquito flitting over a stinky mutton roll:
"Hey...I haven't seen you for too long! " I yelled!
She looked aghast at me, her faced turned red
and after a long brood said: "I'm now away from lure!
by our mosquito-king's edict that said
Never dare into a sinecure!
and touch ye not, a Govt. servant's blood! "
Neat one Sathya...I enjoyed it..the Government Servant ending was totally unexpected and refreshing...
lovely and real fun to read...i expected that the mosquito did want to avoid you but not for such a down to earth reason....even the mosquito seem to know our pathetic corrupt government...10
punches do not go wasted in the air...but land they, where? the mosquito knows better... humorous...sarcastic...nice to read...10
PACKED WITH HUMOR...IT'S YOUR MIND WHICH DOES ALL THE SPEAKING...AND YOU WONDERFULLY PORTRAYED THAT STREAK OF HUMOR IN YOUR MIND...THIS ONE TICKLED MY FUNNY BONE... ;)
I laugh of course but there is some throth in it too....i will think twice before i try to kill any mosqitos around...he might be a prince with a secret mission..excellent poem from you
