i-Peg Poem of the Week #7
These poems are for my close friend Maj Vishwas Mandloi’s delightful group of tipplers called i-peg. One has to raise a toast to the committed lot for their single-minded aim of spreading cheers!
The last one was titled ‘Jannat Ke Khwaab Aur Sharaab’.
Here is the seventh one:
A drink at the sunset,
Makes you completely forget,
What you went through the day;
The rogues you met,
Physically and on the net,
Who kept happiness away.
Yes, the day was hard,
It was almost a discard,
That actually came your way;
You were constantly on your guard,
Facing one or the other retard,
Who was hell-bent to have his say.
Now let the drinks glasses clink,
And before anyone can blink,
Everything becomes happy and gay;
Suddenly the surroundings become pink,
And you can say with a wink:
Even after the sunshine one can make hay.
As the first sip goes down,
Say “bye-bye” to your frown,
Don’t let your hair prematurely turn grey;
Wear the king’s crown,
Not that of his clown,
Let a sundowner show you the way.
There are many truths of life,
Some for peace, some for strife,
But a drink a day keeps the doctor away;
So don’t cut your throat with a knife,
Whilst being scared of your wife,
Just enjoy your drink at the end of the day.
Nice one . …. like a drink.
Shared with pleasure sir
