The Optimistic Froth

1.
Bubbling with laughter…..
The blissful profile, 
Scrutinizing the milieu…..
Oh! The wondrous optimism !

And here am I,
Stressing over the entity, 
That would have no gravity….
A momentous thing more or less useless

And here is the irony…
The optimistic fades away
It lasts for a second 
And then is gulped away!!

Oh the froth…. The bubbles,
Paving the path to success,
Rising up and out
Into the clutches of death

And so is the story 
That ended too quick
Of the optimistic froth and the bubbles
that brings about a hick

“And so here you go….
Now gulp it down!”
Said the bartender….
With a convulsive frown
