I felt low today..
jokes wouldn't come
songs didn't hum
Felt hollow and glum
Then I opened Wb..
if anything I might see

There David wrote a poem
made me feel upbeat
Then someone said she read me
I was jumping in my seat
I wrote..
they polled..
put funny jokes on fb
they laughed..
I rolled..

The cute young dhobi
brought in our clothes
I paid his hisaab
He didn't keep a kitaab
I asked him why?
'I keep it for the others..
a notebook with the sheet
but for you I don't..
I know you wouldn't cheat'

Something welled up within
Pride
A new self respect flowed
I cried
That's when they subsided
my feelings low and misguided
