The Quack Doctor

He wears an apron snowy white,
Shows that he is wise and bright,
He does carry with him a coffer,
Just a case with not much to offer,

Folks very often give him a call,
He packs to get on with the stroll,
He was never among the brightest kids,
However he did have some clever wits,

He did not complete his surgical study,
Wasted too much time with his buddy,
Then he just dropped out,
Leaving a career to doubt,

But he eventually made a return,
Milking nice folks for him to earn,
The cases he solves are cherry picked,
Few suspect that they could be rigged,

Doesn't bite more than he can eat,
Claims to pull off remarkable feat,
He doesn't keep a clinic for too long,
As chances of being tagged get strong,

Many of his patients recover per se,
And this pretty much sums up his way,
He cons folks to meet his wage,
Well suited to today's day and age.

One moment please...

Just a thought to stave off the slumber,
Trying to offer something to remember,
I can see that life can be volant,
But can you just live this moment?

Head to the calendar, look at the date,
It has a purpose for its very own fate,
Today's date was the one of its kind,
Unlikely that another one you will find,

Have you pencilled in what you want to do?
How will things look when the day is through?
A day wasted will go down as one lesser in the book,
You will find something to clear, just have a look,

Find something grand to pursue,
Look around, you will find a clue,
Take the book out, write a note,
Do something for yourself to gloat,

Few years from now you will look back,
Something unfinished and wish to have a crack,
You wondered if you had more left in the stock,
These were moments.....simply left on the clock.

When Juliet dumped Romeo

An affection that started on the social network and then subsequently petered out on the very same stage, this piece is about the either ends of it.

The status on Facebook was given an update,
Without putting in too much thought or wait,
She didn't find him available enough to meet,
And her suspicions grew if he were a cheat,

Later the suspicion turned out to be certain,
Now was the time for her to draw the curtain,
Romeo had good part of the wallet spent,
Juliet took to Facebook, to make mend,

She started picking out all the posts,
The written words looked like ghosts,
Then there were the photos with tag,
Now the memory of it looked a snag,

Romeo was seeking chatter to make it fine,
For him, she decided to keep the tab offline,
The next step was to stop further blend,
An option that networking called 'unfriend',

The two were doing their stone walling,
The ending for both was truly galling,
So, the virtual affection had caught rust,
And the illusion just melted into the dust.

Hopeless Romantic - An Open Heart Surgery

A view from the slit in the heart of a hopeless romantic.

There are mistakes that a person makes,
One of them is being totally honest,
Its gives less and far more away it takes,
And then he just sits to pen a sonnet,

So who is a hopeless romantic?
He is someone who takes it on the chin,
Makes assumptions and thinks frantic,
All cheers but somehow loses the vim,

He seeks someone who can understand,
As he feels too long he has been alone,
Someone who can hold the delicate strand,
Without which his heart turns to stone,

In an affable moment he puts a lot at stake,
Needing an outlet right from the heart,
Opening up to others becomes a mistake,
And this where he often pulls apart,

Often spends his days dreaming,
Regardless of fortunes he is never pert,
Rarely is his smile not beaming,
Doesn't matter how much he is hurt,

One day his true love will be found,
This shall put an end to the tease,
The bliss in his heart will be unbound,
His mind will finally be at peace.
