Not What You Can, But What You Want To
Pretending to be someone,
Something, which in actuality, she was not.
Just her rotten luck,
When red handed- she used to get caught.
An 'evil dancer', as she was called,
Jingles thus compelling her to perform the same.
Preoccupied in her own way of prancing-
The main element of her gaining fame.
Struggles with knives and veggies,
Tussles o'er preparing a soup;
When all her efforts failed,
There ended up all the peels in a loop.
Picking up a pen, grabbing a sheet,
She therefore decided to change the humankind.
Sounds of snores with everything messed up,
On enquiring, this is what we find!
"Engrossed in pretending"- as many people would say,
'A trial of new things'- I really feel;
Not something she could, but something she wanted to,
Thankfully, not like the rotating wheel!
People, laughing?
Did she even bother to care?
While herself laughing them off,
It's a courageous act- though rare!
