Life is a scrambled egg,
Seldom a perfect bake,
Never a neat poach,
How much ever we coach!
Being born to bonhomie's sake
In unfathomable expectation's stake,
Cursing the blood that courses the vein,
Seldom a shade when it does rain!
That simmers the heat
In a covered copper seat,
Believing the best to come out of it,
But staggered nuisances reveal bit by bit!
Stained to taste with a filtering fee,
But holes let pass the sting of a bee,
Naked amidst sharks and solar flares,
Hoping against hope in the grisly glares!
Rising again after each fateful fall,
A promise that stands divine and tall!
Ninety nines against one may label it heresy,
Still, to be fearless in a forest is one big gee!
