Your heart has a yearning
And a burning desire
To share what you’re learning
Like voices of a choir
Small pieces of paper
With the things you have thought
A con or a caper
How the villain was caught
No time is a wrong time
If you wake up at night
With a thought of a rhyme
Then you know you must write
Watching movies with you
Your friends do not enjoy
For you catch every clue
And discern every ploy
And time seems to fly by
When you sit down to write
With that glint in your eye
There is no end in sight
You longed for the teacher
To ask each for a story
You wrote down your feature
Of our flag called, “Old Glory”
Friends with the dictionary
Filled with word after word
To some it seemed scary
When the big words they heard
But not to the writer
You knew you’d become
A reader delighter
You knew you’d please some
So write on forever
As your stories you tell
A writer so clever
Right inside you doth dwell
'Oh God! from where to start'
Is what comes first in my mind,
When I sit for a grand dine;
Who cares about getting fat,
Who cares about gaining weight,
When the soul and the tongue
Together craves for the ultimate taste. Momos, cutlets, fish fingers or burgers,
Are like a divine blessing to all the foodies,
And are the mind delighter as starters.
No it's really difficult,
To keep out panipuri, idli, dhokla and vada
Out of my craving list;
Seriously nothing can fetch me immense pleasure,
Other than a mega feast.
Whenever I step out of my house,
I can't resist myself from trying out
The dishes of those roadside stalls,
And if not that then at least
Some cookie, chocolate or chips from malls,
Surely will have a space in my stomach at any cost.
Perhaps every foodie thinks in such a way,
Till the time you live,
Give your taste a treat everyday.
Anything like healthy or junk doesn't matter,
When am happy to see that food served on my platter;
After all it's me who will enjoy that aesthetic taste,
So it's not that bad,
To have the tag of foodie written on my face.
