Highly Infectious Virus (HIV)

Unlike some of my friends at work who are along with me in a position you can’t strictly term as “The Bench” ‘cos we’ve been assigned to Barclays…I LIKED BEING JOBLESS!! All we do all day long is loaf around the office and waste a lot of time,solve crosswords, play carroms  and occasionally read some technical material provided to us…only if we are that bored!! I used to like being jobless…until today….when we got REALLY jobless!!

We were all sitting together in the open-air cafeteria and racking our brains on another Hindu crossword..which happened to be terribly boring today…So we resorted to the ancient technique of relay-poetry….where each person writes a line and passes the poem around…and watch the way absolutely ridiculous themes gradually unfold with no correlation what so ever…This was their debut relay-poem still it captured the moment and the sting of boredom involved with being somewhere between “The Bench” and “The floor”.We don’t have a name for it so name it yourself….wait!! how abt boredom-the killer cancer!

Boredom-The killer cancer

By : Sushma Yadav, Rajni Misra and Thomas Mathew

I wish i were a butterfly

which would always fly up in the sky

and wouldn’t ever make anybody cry

Oh! My Lord! This is getting so dry!!!

I think my brain  soon will get fried

just the way they cook french-fries

which i would try

as much as money can buy… until I die!

Why do you always lie ?

‘cos I’m just another guy

So go and get some money for a diamond to buy

and you could draw me nigh

to see the sparkle in my eye

but i don’t have the money to buy even a pie

and doesn’t that make u feel shy?

hey!  please try not to be so wry

Someone tell me if you’ve got a tie

but my only question is why?

so that we could all hang ourselves from high!!

sigh!!
