Fall after a Fall
A bachelor’s party before the wedding doomsday
Before your first day at school you got a Milky Way
A cancer that started off as a Cindy Crawford mole
They close the bowling alley just when you are on a roll
Like your last meal before the death row penalty
You dig into the chocolate dessert to realise it is salty
Your perfect location for solitude attracts a crowd
The way a silver lining leads to the gloomiest cloud.
So….
I refuse to admire the brilliant orange, red and yellow
I’ll not applaud when nature performs it's best show
I shall tear my eyes away and close my gaping mouth
'Coz I know winter is coming and I can’t go south.

| Posted by Apple @ 10/16/2004 09:55 AM PDT | ||
| Hardly profound, Alpha! Just incomprehensible! But I read the comments. Winter, eh? Maybe I'll read the poem again. Maybe, just maybe, it IS about winters! :D | ||

| I have never been asked to coffee in rhyme But you've won me over, just tell me the time. Let the temperature soar its all time low Let the chilly winds from Lake Michigan blow It'll be quite warm with a friend beside you He who'll foot the bill and buy a present too. | ||

| Alpha is crying, shes sad that winters here cold breeze and snow and windchill to fear Midwest winters are horrible, or so i believe It just goes on and on, never takes a leave. A minnesotan I am, have braved worse weather, eyelids freeze shut, skin turns to leather. Hot water and brandy, a tequila shot to boot, you're ready to face it; winter? My foot! Snowfights, icicles, and frozen lakes please pure white heaven, ice fishing and jacket's fleece. The reds and golds and oranges are things old, virgin snow is as pretty, though not as bold. The windy city is cool, lots of things to do, like meet over coffee, what says you? | ||
| Posted by Prashant @ 10/14/2004 02:14 PM PDT | ||
| enjoy the autumn while u can.... no matter what anya says... winter sucks dude :) | ||

| Posted by alpha @ 10/14/2004 01:18 PM PDT | ||
| Anya dear, I loved your cool take on this By writing poems, you take away my fizz I can wake up when the world is still gloomy and dark Dirty white snow rules 'Now where did I park?' I find my car when my nose starts to bleed I scrape for an hour, oops I think I peed. But thank ye friend, you showed me the way From now on, blizzards are going to make my day. Thanks for showing me fun things to do Winter now seems like a great season too Pity that I don't have a fireplace or a dog I might have to do with my oven and frog. Edge of my seat, I just cant wait for the snow to pour Its still red and yellow outside ... yuck! what a bore! | ||

| winters coming and you cant go south, you make it sound as though its uncouth. its not that bad, you learn to have fun theres plenty to do even without the sun. make snowballs and snowmen, drink hot soup and eat lo-mein. sit by the fire, warm your hands, sip coco, pospone errands. play with the dog, read a book, chat with friends, learn to cook. skiing is fun, snowfights too, see .. it all depends only on you! | ||
| Posted by alpha @ 10/14/2004 10:22 AM PDT | ||
| Apple: Good good..So I do make an awesome poet! when you dont get it...you think I've said something profound. *pats back* | ||
| Posted by Apple @ 10/14/2004 10:12 AM PDT | ||
| WHAT WAS THAT??? Bouncer maara mere ko sab! | ||

| Now I get it... One can find both counterclockwise and clockwise flowing drains in both hemispheres during all seasons. | ||
| Posted by alpha @ 10/14/2004 07:13 AM PDT | ||
| aar: Milky way is a chocolate..you poor deprived kid. mole sometimes leads to cancer if it starts growing disproportionately. Zoheb: Phew..thank god! Leela: And become a laughing stock among the players in heaven..NO way! Fairy: You are much South than I am .*sulk* | ||
| Posted by Leela @ 10/14/2004 05:59 AM PDT | ||

| Posted by :-) @ 10/13/2004 11:29 PM PDT | ||
| alpha: Ha! Look who is talking about heat and stuff? Arent you like from Chennai? Huff. Puff. Helloooooo! | ||
| Posted by Zoheb @ 10/13/2004 09:49 PM PDT | ||
| Yes, this could have changed my love for you. I am a mallu and detest mallu company. Its a long story .... | ||
| Posted by alpha @ 10/13/2004 08:09 PM PDT | ||
| Fills: 'penalty' here may not be used as a verb. And yeah, I didn't need the explanation for DR. remember I kept track of his portfolio at one point...after he was captured. | ||
| Posted by the filler man @ 10/13/2004 06:42 PM PDT | ||
| I like this "Like your last meal before the death row penalty ". Try framing a sentence "Danny Rolling got death row penalized". In case you go who is Danny Rolling? Our own hometown serial killer, good old G'ville, where it is the perfect time of the year. Our winters are mild... | ||
| Posted by alpha @ 10/13/2004 02:39 PM PDT | ||
| Zoheb? Will that change your love for me? nah yaar, its about an older post about mallu mole..too bad you missed it. | ||
| Posted by Zoheb @ 10/13/2004 02:20 PM PDT | ||
| Whats this Mallu mole thing ? Are you mallu ? | ||
| Posted by alpha @ 10/13/2004 12:53 PM PDT | ||
| Aar, I see you haven't gotten over our Mallu mole yet. | ||
| Posted by Aaar @ 10/13/2004 12:37 PM PDT | ||
| Aha, a poem, rhyme as well:-) But mallu mole made more sense than cindy crawford mole! | ||
