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!!

That was a good One, Thomas!
Well well well, nice to see your creative juices flowing again!
