In Dream I Saw
Saw animals in jungle dump garbage in water
and drink the same
Wolf was drinking and smoking
while giving a lecture on healthy habits
A monkey was guarding a fruit tree
claiming it to be his
Another monkey said give me some fruits,
you can't eat all they will rot, he refused
Animals wore a bra to cover their breast
All animals wore underwear below dress
Birds wore skirts below wings
They mated behind a bush
Lion, the king of jungle made a rule
An animal can kill only one in a day to feed self
But he was allowed unlimited killing,
Infact he killed ten, threw nine ate one
Elephant was uprooting trees
Birds with nests were screaming
He paid no heed to them
King wanted roads
Parrot was writing a poem
Trying to avoid clitches
How do I describe tears?
All forms of water including raindrops
had been already used.
He had to be different to win!
Jungle looked like towns
Animals were behaving like humans
It seemed God had made them
mentally akin to humans.
