When The Nobel Prize For Literature For 2016 Was Announced Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

It struck Bob Dylan
And he could not say
In acceptance
Or in negation of,
What should he do,
A song-writer
Did he deserve that,
Did the songs come
In the song category
He thought about

And for this he kept mum,
Maintaining silence,
What should he,
Should he take or decline it
He thought within,
A singer he,
A musician,
A guitarist he
Setting songs to music,
A singer he
Singing and playing?

What does a poet do,
What does a singer,
Is poetry songs,
Is song poetry? ,
He ruminated over
And opined to reach at,
Finally turning not up,
But sending to represent him
With a letter to be read.

Some thought him to be arrogant
But was not,
As he lay thinking
Why was it not
To song-writers previously,
Why the decision so late
In concluding
If song was poetry,
Why could they not earlier?
