Krish Radhakrishna Poet Tanka

Buggy Buzz

in spicy Madras
mosquitoes target bite ass
night and day harass!
I applied some sticky cream
to deter their evil scheme!

early dawn herd buzz,
million flights of buggy curse,
park on my reverse!
my cream from castor oil farm,
trapped them like a magic charm!

they struggled to free
As I giggled with sheer glee
till one bit my knee!
in anger I swat it, swore
with my rump crushed many more!

so here is a tip,
use castor oil as chief whip!
go have a good trip,
my secret you may share, sell!
do not let bugs make life hell,
