Manohar Bhatia Hi,
As I have mentioned before,the poems I write are inspired from observations,travels,reading newspapers,autobiographies,TV etc....The current is inspired from reading an autobiography of a living legend,who likes to travel a lot in his life.It occured to me that what If I can also travel to various places and come up with something amusing to relate......well,this is all fiction.

Monday Poem::::::: "I Went to..........."

I went to the kitchen to cook my meal
But came back with a broken tin seal
Of what use is this broken tin seal
when I cannot make a deal!

I went to college to do my study
but came back only with lost buddy
of what use is this lost buddy
when I cannot make him study!

I went to cricket field fearing for blob
but came back scoring a century
of what use is this century
when my team lost match of century!

I went to a jungle to shoot a chimera
but came back only with broken camera
Now,of what use is this broken camera
when I didn't click photo of chimera!

I went to climb the Great Wall Of China
but came back with diagnosied hernia
what use is this hernia to me
when my hospitalized expenses are everone to see!

I went to holiday for a complete rest
but came for a real test
now,what can I test when piles of files
are staring me on my desk!

I went for a stroll to Picadally Circus
but landed in nearby real circus
I saw tigers,elephant,clowns,
mimicking many with thier funny frowns!

I went for a ride in a roller-coaster
but came back with my body a roster
I tried all medicines to cure this roaster
but fell flat in the doctor's toaster!

I went to a friend's house for a chat
but came back wearing only my hat
now,what should I do with this hat
except to fling it on the mat!

I went to a party to have a gala time
but came back only with a broken dime
what to do with this broken dime
except to display as collector's shine!

I went to library to read some books
but came back only with its hooks
what use are these hooks to me
but to hang the shirts of thee!

I went to the beach for a good swim
only to come out with a face grim
Oh!,why the grimming face?
only to look in mirror for body charcoal case!

--The End--

Maya Mahant Hiya Manohar,

This poem is so quintessential Manohar! Always certain to bring a smile, the tongue in cheek humour is sure way to keep the reader amused.

Jack Huber You are fortunate to have a vivid imagination, Manohar. That will always help you as a writer. It's good to keep stretching those muscles...

Diane Tegarden Manohar,
I especially liked this stanza...

"I went to a jungle to shoot a chimera
but came back only with broken camera
Now,of what use is this broken camera
when I didn't click photo of chimera!"

I enjoyed the witty play on words of chimera and camera,
Diane T.

Diane Stephenson Manohar:

Your sense of humor comes through loud and clear. And it shows that often what we consider in the beginning to be really important ends up being next to useless in our lives. Perhaps we all chase this 'chimera' at some point in our lives but will never catch it on our broken cameras. Things seldom turn out the way we expect in life but that doesn't necessarily mean that's bad. Sometimes we get something even better - we throw away the broken camera and buy a better one!
