Once upon a time, I was mushroom
I think I was elegant as mushrooms go
I had a grand head and a justly strong toe
I stood tall amongst my mushroom friends
noble and as bold as I could be
I gave free shelter to the little things
and comfort to the seedling tree
I am told that I had beautiful variegations
and did my best to grow
encouraging all the other mushrooms
that ever I did know
It was hard sometimes being a mushroom
in a forest of beautiful pine
even the rocks seemed superior
when we like children, stood in line
Let's face it being a mushroom
isn't as big or filled with granite as a Rock
but that's why I always tried to keep it kind
and never be the one to mock
I try to be gentle and cover lichen, moss, and mites
especially on all of those rainy wild and windy nights
So if you come upon me holding fast to the darkest soil
I would greatly appreciate your stopping
to admire me for a while
But then if you could step over me
instead of squishing me into the ground
I will hold you in the highest stead
and speak of you with renowned

To Dis a Ray
Tim felt prismatic and took off his polychrome Ray Bans
He had to revisit his novella and needed undistorted vision
To sort out gems from false gold and writer’s confusion
Had he really been so blinded with bands full of colour
Why were so few synonyms for variegations of rainbows
Was he too cheerful or flippant as an unredeemable scribe
The paper oozed with pots of gold and layers of colour
Chakras went up and down spines of meditation and joy
Jesters wore crowns and purple attire to rise from below
Clouds were made for the twilight of tranquil surrender
As he had to write all Peace in pastels on the fabric of hope
Was he really a utopian fantasist who shines through my pages
Repetitive maybe but the mist mixed with sunshine above
Droplets of kindness painted a picture of perfection’s illusion
He had to tweak it because even climbing roses had thorns
So many words in the canon and chorus of dreams and delight
Revising a story amounts will not hinder narration and license
Maybe he will just dis one ray from his tale and see how it goes

Thronged investors at the allotment bazaar
Large cap bearish
Scripts at fall.
Awaited ingenious and expertise capitalists
Then brought into
Scripts at down.
Mid Cap bullish
Scripts at rise
Wavered SENSEX
And small cap ingress
Gives the once over like a cliffhanger rise.
Beginners rapacity and analysts variegations
Former’s paucity and latter’s accrued funds.
Pulled blue chips
Superior position
And more towering price
Then again a new firm
Offering a bid price.
Broker’s commission and depositories dematerialization
Varied revenue
Over investors capitalization.
Inflation hikes and deflation brought down
Again a widespread decline in the GDP
Brought the whole market to pull down.
Analyst’s accrued funds and NIFTY’s superbia
Top thirties jackpots and investors allocations,
Sharply jerked down.
Brainsick market
And a quidity beer bar,
A full-time financial express
And the morning tea NDTV regular.
Beginners’ luck to fill the pot
And a period later
The crow sated the piggy bank pot.
