I Must Be Really Bored, When -

I
A few days ago, I misplaced cooking oil
Not as in "spills." LORD, may we avoid oil-spills
Just the Liter ended up in a spare bedroom
Don't ask how! Mind seems good, as God Wills

II
I was so happy, encouraged, relieved,
Washed the bottle, sprinkled hands over plant
(In a pot). Felt it was wrong, so I believed:
So I kissed each frond with, "I love thee Friend"

Well now Anil - Hi. The title is an eye catcher to turn the page for certain. It was full of play. May there never be boredom and may there always be love and friendship. Always are you whimsical with your executions. Have a beautiful and peaceful day always and yes never ever misplace the cooking oil (smile) Yes, shalom and namaste...
