Of late, a friend of mine asked me:
'Which is the fastest and safest delivery system
To send a gift to my dearest lover?
By air? by road? by rail? or by sea? '
I soon replied in a clear way:
'No such kind of delivery system is convenient,
As these services normally depend upon
Certain limited or unlimited period of time,
And the fragile packings may invite damages also'
'So what is your suggestion? '
'In my view, the fastest delivery system
Is through the system of the mind!
Mind can travel at a tremendous speed,
With many areas covering far and wide'
'What do you mean by that? '
'Suppose, I have a girlfriend in the planet Venus
I can just bring her in my mind,
Gift a bunch of flowers,
Give a kiss on her forehead,
And two on her rosy cheeks
Within a very short span of time! '
'You also cross certain statutory warnings! '
'Statutory warning? You mean kissing!
Kissing is a genuine and sincere expression of love.'
'By the way, is it not the other version of flying kiss? '
'Not at all. Flying kiss needs proper piloting,
Air traffic control for checking weather condition
In order to avoid mid-air hazards and
The unexpected crash landing on a diverted destination,
Before it safely lands at the scheduled destination! '
He left immediately, whispering:
'Oh my Goodness, every poetic mind has its own
Chartered plane loaded with imaginations! '
