Musical War

Squirrels and sparrows and koels

Trying to stage a Jugalbandhi,

Sun is just peeping out,

Playing hide and seek-

With the wet clothes on the line.

An hour after yet another shower

My mango tree is the center  stage 

Of the musical trio.

Can anything be sweeter

Than this music?

With closed eyes I drink 

The sound of the small sparrow,

Screeching squirrels and

The long intonation of the koel

I  settle down to the 

Stark fact that I am 

A blessed one to listen -

To the worlds best music,

When my mobile phone starts ringing-

That is my little fairy,

She tells me what she is drinking-

It is Lemon Juchee.

Now the trio stop singing

For they know that they have lost out to a little princess,

Their music no longer

Stands a chance of

Being the sweetest in my ears.

With the wind that

Hustles the mango leaves

Sighs of the koel sparrows and squirrels are mixed,

For they lost out to a 

Little princess

 A tough musical war!
