Criteria Poem by Rajesh Kannan

Criterion.....Hello.... Criterion...
Hmmm...Yes...It isn't yet set.
No..No..No.. No...!
No...It isn't yet formed!
Hmm hmm...Yeah!
Working on it.

Wait! Wait! Wait! ....What?
No...You're mistaken!
It isn't that I talk about.
It's not meant to be yours or ours.
It's mine....My Criterion
And I name and call it
Criterion of Bachelorhood!
Of mine, oh yeah! .. Mine.
It seems I've crossed miles
but no where I could see that stone.
It must be somewhere suffixed hidden.
Whatever!
I could only perceive is that
Criteria are not meant to be fulfilled;
Nor to please; Nor to ease;
But to work forever
And ever and ever
With a plan, with your clan;
With much patience
In a consistent pace.
And mind! there's no solace.

Good luck to me!
For criteria ahead.
Good luck to me!
For stones to get found;
To get stepped on.
Good luck to me
For everything
From wrath to scath.
From wars to mars.
Good luck to me!
From now to vow
To bow to wow.
