Hire And Fire! Never Retire! Life Is A Big Satire! Poem by Harindhar Reddy

Hire And Fire! Never Retire! Life Is A Big Satire!

Rating: 4.6


I aimed at conquering the sky by forgetting fog and mist
To become an economist and a Kautilya but here is a twist.....
I planned to scale the Mount Everest by chanting 'omkara! '
Yet, A surprised debacle stored in the corner to catch my muse!
So I ended my career by jumping into dell Bukhara, 'Hari-hara!
Soon, soon, I became a buffoon! Woof, woof, I am a bloody goof!
Hire and Fire! Never Retire! LIFE is a Big SATIRE!

Once again brain is my domain to become civil servant sound
I'm trapped at gate; failures piled up on the ground into a mound,
I donned the dunce cap with a wince and so I'm named as Muppet!
My titanic struggle ended with the a screeching sound of trumpet;
I am sure, I am a boor as fate took booze and cooked my goose.
Soon, soon I became a buffoon! Woof, woof, I am a bloody goof!
Hire and Fire! Never Retire! LIFE is a Big SATIRE!

My target was high as world trade center - "I'm the hunter"!
I traveled with rollicking speed of the rocket - "I'm the punter"!
I committed a Himalayan blunder so I downed the ladder with a broom,
This time education is at receiving end with no fund in my room;
I sat in the corner, wore the monkey cap with a label clown.
Soon, soon I became a buffoon! Woof, woof, I became bloody goof!
Hire and Fire! Never Retire! LIFE is a Big SATIRE!

With high aspirations, I treasured to become a poet charismatic,
To my surprise! Oh my god! I forgot to write: ha-ha!
I desired to become a Writer yet became a nincompoop lunatic,
I cherished to win laurels but ended up with big barrels, ha-ha!
I'm perished, here a telling example of the downfall of a buffoon
Soon, soon I became a buffoon! Woof, woof, I became bloody goof!
Hire and Fire! Never Retire! LIFE is a Big SATIRE!

In youth I tried hit the jackpot with a super shot!
But I forgot to tick the spot in newspaper, ha-ha!
This time journalism committed suicide by my side, ha-ha!
"Man proposes, Time reposes but god disposes" in its note
Clap-clap! Laugh-laugh! Laugh and clap with a huff and puff!
Soon, soon I became a buffoon! Woof, woof, I became bloody goof!
Hire and Fire! Never Retire! LIFE is a Big SATIRE!

Ever so expressive! Maybe start by climbing and conquering small mountains and then with enough experience climb Mt. Everest. Our success usually lies in the small things in life, that which is more important than the world's acknowledgement, like friendship, love, being a good child who cares for his parents. Autobiographical you said, but you're no buffoon!
