That's just ME

Oh, you do not want to know my tale,

But since you insist, I guess I'll just tell,

 

Originally from mystical India -- not Rome!

Some 30 years ago made the USA my home,

 

I revere Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, Krishna

But keep my faith in love, peace and karma,

 

I read Shakespeare, Longfellow, Poe, Keats,

Omar Khayyam, Frost, Tennyson and Yeats,

 

Besides poetry and movies, I love to love

Books, traveling and fair ladies in drove,

 

Sometimes I blow hot, sometimes cold

And venture out to buy stuffs already sold,

 

I am like Don Quixote, at times, Rip Van Winkle

Sometimes Ebenezer Scrooge, at times Kris Kringle.

 

Balding, with a paunch, but I think young

There's not a passionate song I haven't sung,

 

Pensive, moody and mostly quiet

But when I talk, I usually am right,

 

Couldn't walk good with my bad knees

But I dance with butterflies and bees,

 

Purblind, yet I have seen places umpteen

I daydream a lot, you know what I mean?

 

Born in June, by nature I am sunny

And if I so wish, I can be quite funny,

 

But you wouldn't want to mess with me

I can be swift and lethal like Bruce Lee;

 

I am writing this jestfully but it's serious,

Ha now, don't go get nosy or too curious!
