Mouse And Monkey. Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Said the Mouse to the Monkey,
You're gracious, you are funky!
Over the trees and on the land,
You go out freely and eat what you want!
I remained confined to the holes,
I eat what remains after heavy toll.
I wish I could swing like you,
Freak out freely and say yahoo.

Please give me a ride on your back!
Said the Mouse to the Monkey.
'I would sit quite and enjoy my ride'.
The whole of the long day flew!
And Monkey took from the street to the creeks
Over the land and above the trees
He did Mouse a whole day's freak.

As they were passing through the jungle
There appeared lion from the triangle
Seeing him roar monkey jumped on to the tree
And Mouse fell down onto his feet as if to greet
Lion looked at Monkey first, then glanced at the Mouse
You a tiny creature who brought you to this house
The Mouse took hiding in a hole.

Said the Mouse 'Your life is not that easy Monkey'
I have never imagined about it earlier, Monkey
And now after seeing this all I simply look like a Donkey
Please take me back to where I belong
And I shall never try this expedition all along
Looking at others, we take it for granted
Path of life looks easy of others
And all the struggle is only for us.
