Notes About The Poem

"THE COOL" FROM MY ROOF TOP GARDEN, 06 JULY 2017, MY PHOTO, ©

Image may contain: plant, flower, nature and outdoor

Thought Himself Cool

There was on a planet a smart being

Who praises of his deeds liked much to sing

He thought himself to be cool

Though he was just a great fool 

For his end with his acts managed to bring!

Unfortunately, the last line is also the truth! That we are not yet in the grave should not mean that we are off the hook!Thank you my dear friend, Probir!
