  • Clown Show

    It's a shit show out there. Could this be Donald, Vladimir, Erdoğan, Milei, Orbán or Narendra? Your guess is as good as mine.


    So here comes a man
    Of whom I'm no fan
    Oh here comes a man
    With a convoluted plan


    He claims he's the leader
    He is just a hate breeder
    He claims he'll get things done
    He is going to make you run


    So here comes a man
    Of whom I'm no fan
    Oh here comes a man
    With a convoluted plan


    He wants to change
    He is simply out of range
    He wants to steal
    He ain’t gonna get that deal


    So here comes a man
    Of whom I'm no fan
    Oh here comes a man
    With a convoluted plan


    He knows very little
    He is here to belittle
    He knows no friends
    He is loathed to the ends


    So here comes a man
    Of whom I'm no fan
    Oh here comes a man
    With a convoluted plan

  • You say, I say, Hearsay
    You say, I say, hearsay
    You say, I'm your friend
    That's the trend
    I say, I'm your enemy
    Will you marry me?
    You say, no, never
    I say, okay
    Come, live with me, hey
    Lover, forever together
    You say, Umm... I'll think
    I say, life is a blink
    Better kiss me
    Before you miss me
    You say, I'm an ugly duck
    I say, I'm loveblind
    One of a kind
    I don't give a fuck
    You say, I may stray
    I say, go try, don't be shy
    My heart is your home is why
    You'll come back and stay
    You say, I'll let you know,
    You are so different, you know
    Let's go slow-mo
    I say, just enjoy the show
    You say, aye aye, sir
    I say, that's a typo, an error
    Call me by my name,
    Are you game?
    You say, block me, please
    I say, cut the tease
    You're intoxicated, jeez!
    With my touch, smell, and memories
    You say, stuck is a curse
    Go, explore the universe
    I say, I'm your prose, you're my verse
    For better or worse
    You say, I need time, buddy
    I say, how about a lifetime or two
    Wait is a three-letter word; you
    Deal? Are you okay, baby?
    You say, I'm fine
    Beneath, a pain endures
    I say, may all my happiness be yours
    And all your sorrow be mine
    You say, why so serious?
    I say, I'm just being curious
    Temme how...
    Don't you know me by now
    Enough said,
    Enough of this you and I
    Without asking why
    Can't we just be,
    Not you and I, but we
    You and I
    Olive and Popeye
    'Til we die
    Never lie,
    Never say goodbye

  • Life. Threads.
    Life is never a straight line
    It’s a thread
    You weave as you go
    Tangles form
    Knots arise
    You keep knitting
    Nobody gets out
    Untangled
    Yet, life is beautiful

  • Return to Office

    WFH is what you want. WTH is what you get.

    As masks go down

    I see

    Two-faced masters

    Tell you,

    Good dog

    Go! Fetch the ball

    Come here, sit,

    Come on! Take a seat

    It's your last and final call

    Come, grab your treat

     

    Once bruised, a neck

    Almost healed,

    Collar mark concealed

    What the heck!

    There's no leash, no more,

    Not even remote

    All day you scratch, piss,snore,

    And play

    Sometimes, you moonlight

    In broad daylight

     

    Barking dogs seldom bite,

    In a dogfight

    Having forgotten the trade, youtrick

    You've gone stray,

    In the bargain

    You ain't listen,

    Come what may

    The masters now feelin' theprick

    First, they threaten,

    Then they bribe, then they pray

     

    But, hey...

     

    Batman returns

    Superman returns

    Jedi returns

    Jesus returns

    Postman returns

    Laundryman returns

    Kabuliwala returns

    Sinbad returns

     

    Nobody else returns.

  • The Receptionist
    Over the counter
    Waiting
    For my turn
    A tickle
    Tops my nose
    On a slow burn
    My eyes meet
    Hers, up-close
    My finger
    Swipes my nose
    Catching her
    Mirror me
    On the same beat
    Mimicking me…
    You are, are you?
    Did I enter the secret
    Door code; a cue?
    Temme… hey!
    A sheepish smile
    Was her only say
    I get my gate pass
    It was time, alas
    To go
    Oh, damn! How lame
    All I could ask,
    Was her name…

  • AI ft. Eminem
    Hey, hello... hi
    While sipping chai
    A thought seeps in, my-my
    AI's the new samurai
    The new high
    A, and I
    The parade behind stirs a cry
    Ew! OUch! Why leave us dry
    Before bidding bye-bye
    Let me tell you with a sigh
    These words are mine, aye-aye
    Not written by AI.
    /*The rise of AI has left behind a hue and cry, amongst humans and vowels alike.*/
