STICKY EASTER CAKE!

As a simple Poet I was quite alright

As a Known Poet I always thought

Whatever I write is absolutely right 

When they called me Global Poet

It simply increased my head weight!

When labelled Veteran Great Poet

I stopped attending local gatherings,

Instead, sent a Walking Stick as my symbol!

I carried on like this for many years.

I chose Easter Day to solemnize, as

Wedding Day of my only daughter

I printed picture of walking stick in invitation card

So that people can recognise me easily, The Bard!

A big Easter cake was mass attraction of function.

I remained busy with the bride and groom

Almost all the time inside the green room

When it was apt Muhurtham* time,

I came to the dias and looked around for guests

All the seats in front were already occupied,

By none other than lot of Walking Sticks!

* Auspicious moment 

   for any  prescribed function.
