Sir, There Is A Telegram For You Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

'Sir, there is a telegram for you,
Sir, '
Came it the voice,
The stranger in the khaki shirt and pants
Calling at
And saying,
'Sir,
Sir there is a telegram for you'.

And hearing it, the Indian fellow's wife
Started getting wet-eyed,
Asking him to open the envelope,
But on marking the situation galvanizing,
The delivery man, the postal man not,
But the telegraph department man
Said with the folded,
Sorry sir, it is April Fools' Day.
