Three Cheers

No, no It’s not any Premature celebration, But just some fun, When everyone’s so sick Of this pandemic. So, ‘What are the cheers for?’ You may rightly ask. But then, isn’t it a task To stand in such Disciplined way- Braving not only the heat, But also freak Thunderstorms of May Oh yes, I’m talking of India’s frontline warriors Sloshed and soggy Saving the ‘tottering’ economy After all, government's empty coffers Have to be replenished And, they must buy their bottle Before the stocks get finished In this war Let help pour From every ‘quarter’ Every ‘pint' I hope You get the hint It’s time to Come out ‘all mouths reeking' Some sober, some tipsy, some puking It’s this fighting ‘spirit’ Which will eventually overcome Covid Hence, can we please Stop our jeers And instead Raise a toast To all the tipplers out there- ‘Three Cheers'.
