The Tree Speaks

 F****, This one’s for you.

Ram and Priya were hopping along

Hand in hand, they were singing a song

And Bong!

They walk into the Tree!

Oh look, my love, he says to her

This tree looks right, let’s do it here!

She blushes and she moves near

And they do it all for the Tree to bear

They did it and left the tree behind

And the Tree spat all curses that it could find

It cursed them both, feeling very low

Just then it spotted a couple and Lo!

For Vikram and Neha were hopping along

Muttering and fighting, they were singing no song

And Bong!

They walked into the Tree!

Hey look! I think this is it!

Says Vikram, stopping and starting a bit

Wasn’t this the Tree that Ram talked about?

Where he and Priya, you know, made out?

Oh Yes! Says Neha cottoning on

Let sort it here, come on!

And so they argued around and above

And while they were at it, they also made love!

The Tree grimaced, but what could it do?

It wished it could walk, or just slap the two

But sighing and groaning, without a sound

The Tree bore it, as they romped around

They left and the Tree felt free at last

It just wished that night would fall fast

But they day was still young

And hopping along

Came Rahul and Kady, now, singing a song!

The Tree -

Oh what is this, why this plight?

Why do it all in my sight?

Do you think this love-exhibition is right??

Especially when I cannot fight??

You made those walls, those rooms, those halls

So do it there, where no eye falls

Why subject me to thee

Just let me stand, just leave me be!

Right from the days

Of your olden flicks

I’ve had to deal

With these singing chicks

And their heroes dancing around me

Why, oh why, this misery?

You grab me and garb me

And pull me undone

But trust me, your love making

Isn’t no fun!

I’m tired and sick, so better be gone!

Go take it elsewhere, show me no more

And don’t come to me now, hopping along!
