The Rose Didn’t Tell Me That It Wanted My Shirt’s Button Hole.

The rose which Ma had bought for me,

Was big and round.

Yet, I kept it in the front pocket of my shirt.

But the rose would fall out of my pocket and a small thorn of its stem,

Would get lodged near the button hole of my shirt.

Not once, not twice, not even thrice.

It happened four times.

I told Ma-“Ma the rose is constantly falling out of my pocket and getting lodged near the button hole of my shirt.”

Ma-“Maybe it wants the button hole of your shirt”.

I removed the thorn and lodged the rose in the button hole of my shirt.

Though big and round,

The rose looked really sweet.

I kept there for a few minutes,

And then laid it in front of my maternal grandmother’s photo.

The rose indeed wanted the button hole of my shirt.

Adios!

Free Coupons.

Free coupons both have a positive side as well as a negative side.

They offer free things,

Mega discounts.

They make believe that anything worth them,

Are worth it.

But if looked upon carefully,

One could see that the thing “free”,

Or the discount is already covered in the price.

The positive side is that sometimes in comparison with other shops, they do offer marginal discounts.

While, the negative side of it, is known by all that it leads to serious binging in shopping.

All the while, free coupons have existed for many years,

And with each passing day they seem to make up more of the market.

Coupons or no coupons,

Do buy a red rose,

A small pen,

A cone of vanilla ice cream.

A notebook to jot down your memories.

To prove that an inch of humanity still exists.

Adios!
