THE CROW AND THE CUCKOO

jvl narasimha rao

The crow and the cuckoo look alike

Even the cuckoos are hatched by the crow

But they sing a different song

They can not live along

 

 salt and camphor look the same

But their tastes are different

Salt is meant for adding taste to pudding

Camphor is meant for a god's worshipping

 

We can’t decide anything by its looks

Nor can we judge a human by the sweet talks

We should observe how he walks

In trying conditions the way she acts

    Wow. Excellent! Make me tremble in my boots. I loved your comparisons.....since I know your last stanza is correct, I doubt not the first too. Though the interesting thing is, don't they use camphor against mosquitoes? I like this poem very well!!
