Ode To Kittin The Prodigy

Kittin of San Jose, how charming is your look, 
silky satiny skin, bright eyes and your voice meeow, 
every day I fall hopelessly in love with you ! 
even before I get up from bed in the morning, 
I hear your footsteps on the stairs descending,
lured by, probably the mouth-watering aroma of breakfast waiting!


Hearty and healthy breakfast done, you head towards computer room, 
checking emails is the first thing, begins our schedule 
“Work from home” is the norm nowadays, so no driving in hefty traffic, 
iPhone calendar reminds a business meeting at ten in the morning. 
You get busy with master’s proofreading proposals, 
in between a few bites of “dry food” grabbing. 


Hi Dear Kittin, you remind me of my childhood friend “Tintin”
I was obsessed with, in my teenage years,  
designing chips, now my expertise, 
I share the skills with you, a brilliant colleague, 
together we stand as reigning partners, 
champions in a challenging market, 
City of San Jose, silicon valley of America, 
a competitive economy, 
victorious pair - scientists of tomorrow’s world -  
appreciate you and me!

This is very amusing, dear Mala. Your Catin, has she got a computer chip in her head?? However this feline prodigy will soon catch media attention. :) :) All Best Wishes to the 'Victorious pair"....

Dear Valsa, your comment made me so happy! I was wondering if this is suitable for the contest! I am visiting my son in San Jose, and getting to know this “feline prodigy”! Hope he catches a lot of media attention! Thank you, Dear Poetess!
