Long Burn the midnight oil Poems

I reflect upon the days which could have been,
I reminiscent our...

While we sit with our coffee and poetry,
The Fear Frenzy Makers burn the midnight oil.
Digging up lies, just anything man!
To stuff up your brain like cement in a can.

Ideals

Ideals 

High ideals?

Is checking crayfish gender easy as you might guess?
Tugging on the legs results in quite a mess! 
First know your species, molting phase and such

The book is a knowledge bank,
Whenever necessary gets poured like water in a tank
You quench our thirst for knowledge.
In student life and also in college;
You teach alphabets like A,B,C....
And also have books of psychology and...

We both had a passion
for books and nooks
so the library was always
a great place to meet
till Shush! Shush! we’d hear
Be quiet now! from the librarian
with the face of a mule

OK!! Love is good, love is good,
But hey, will it buy me food,
For bread with love can I pay,
And my bills and taxes too, I say?

For love, much I will toil
And burn the midnight oil,
If...
