HANDSOME

(A Comic Poem)

(Own claims and blames of a man)

“Handsome… handsome…

I am handsome…!

Those who have some sum in hand

mock at me,

as I lack some sum in hand.

Some say that they are handsome,

as they hold some sum in hand.

Then I keep mum before them,

as I am slim,

without some sum in hand.

I think myself that I am handsome,

even without some sum in hand.

Those who have some sum in hand

show their whim upon me

to disturb my calm.

Firm and calm, I rest in Nature’s bliss;

She finds me handsome

and warmly invites me

to her beautiful lap.

Who would trim the extravagant criteria

of some sum in hand,

to become handsome among those

who hold some sum in their hands…?

Friends…!

Do you think that I am handsome

or otherwise…?”
