The Day of the Chimp (rictameter)
Some day,
A chimpanzee
Would try to read a book,
Much like how human beings do!
But how much it would understand- who knows?
That too, on ‘Origin of Man’!
And scratch its head, ‘Poor man,
Let chimps train him
Some day! ’

Warning of Global Warming!
A Polar Bear Pleads:
‘The icy-ground of polar caps
Is melting in a rapid way;
I’m perched atop an ice-berg tip;
I may not be alive next day! ’
“Our existence is endangered;
Stop warming up of earth, Mankind! ”

Celestial Adwise
Forget your wants;
Ignore the world;
Follow God’s words;
Prepare your soul
For eternity!
Made in image
Of God holy,
Man must be pure
Follow God’s code,
To enter Heaven.
If man be part
Of God holy,
We must depart,
Only holy!

Just a Song!
I rock in a chair,
In a room all bare,
With my unkempt hair,
Without any care!
I breathe dirty air,
Dressed in summer-wear,
Attempting to pare
My nails as I stare!
Oh, What if I dare
To run like a hare
Or walk like a bear
Or charge like a mare!

Valentine Day Special
I like you madly;
I love you truly;
You are my life’s sunshine;
You are my valentine.
You are my love;
You’re always mine;
From year to year,
You’ve grown so dear.
You are my heart;
You mean a lot;
You are my wife;
You are my life!

In Lent …
Read the word of God and act;
Bear your cross and follow Christ;
Reflect upon your sins of past;
Renew your fellowship with Christ.
Through Virgin Mary, reach Jesus;
Develop your bond of love with Christ;
Pray that this year passes on well;
Win the war against satan.

On ASH WEDNESDAY
Ash your body;
Wear sack-cloth;
Fast and abstain;
Reconcile with God.
Ask forgiveness
For sins past;
Pray fervently
For soul’s grace.
Meditate well;
Open your heart;
Offer your life
To Jesus Christ.
Humble yourself;
Ask God’s help
To lead a life pure
Obeying His code.

An Earnest Prayer to God
God, rule my tongue, my works, my thought;
God, rule my mind, body, and heart;
God, rule all gifts from You I got;
God, rule my will, forget-me-not.
God, rule all things, my every part;
God, rule my actions from the start;
God, rule my soul, guide it with art;
God, rule my life till I depart!
