Miss Vanity And Mr Dolittle...! Poem by Vidya Pandarinath

Miss Flamingo Vanity and Mr.Penguin Dolittle
Got to know each other, fair enough
On the social network trying to grasp the nettle
Their approach was neither ornamental nor rough,
Yet had all the modern touch and flair
Virtual pictures and high flying thoughts
The ideals that they did colour and declare
Made up the similitude of an Eden with synthetic flower -pots;
They drove away Time and settled down
With whims and fancies all beating wings
Impelled the neighbouring old -couple to frown
From behind their ajar casement in watchful strings;
Not many days had gone before each found
The other was hard and odd: incompatible
So was the bonding dispatched to the burial ground;
Away went the one with a cat walk, the other remained susceptible..!
