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'.
