Mr.Parkinson Poem by nimal dunuhinga

Mr.Parkinson



I thought he should go to the Zoo.
The gentleman who's sitting on a bench
in the amusement park.
In the summer evening he's in his bare body
And half of the animals in the jungle tattooed there,
And he seemed to be a tough guy.
When I just tried to avoid him and go to the other bench
He smiled like a child and started the conversation.
'I am Parkinson and you? '
'Nimal'
'Indian'
'No, Sri Lankan'
'That doesn't make any difference and I guessed that you're looking for a job? '
I said; 'Yes'
'You never get a job even if you get that won't be long last.'
'Why'
'Because you have a smiley face, try to be a hard hitter
Like Don Bradman,
Show a tough face like Tyson at all,
Not to women they're very kind
And if they need sweet, offer them candy
Never give bitter pills.
Kick the ball into the goal like Pele!
Never mind if you go to Church, Temple, Shrine or anywhere else
Just pretend as Worshiping and why so hurry?
You may go to Heaven, Nirvana or Hell
Enjoy the life first!
Remember when she needs a candy
Never ignore her!
On the way home in the Twilight I hummed!
'And here's to you Mrs.Robinson
Jesus love you more than you will know............'

*To the Sri Lankan celebrated poet Mahagama Sekara for his Masterpiece 'Prabuddha' the poetry anthology.
