THE KING OF THE ROADS...


A buffalo on a busy market road stood staring blankly,
at the blaring horns staring straight ahead,
for a moment in bewilderment..
it looked around to see who the culprit was.!!


Ha !!!
Its just another bus it thought and closed it eyes
and swept its tail once twice and thrice.!!
It sat down on the black road below proclaiming the road to be its own...

Like a line for free Prasadam a line of buses stood in serpentine fashion,
 Creating a Jugalbandhi of horns...

Little did the buffalo care..
it just sat on the road like a Maharaja on the throne,
Majestically staring at the chaos, started chewing its cud ...


An conductor inspired by a bright thought,
took a bundle of leaves from the nearby dump,
Took it to the raja as an offering of peace..
Like a kid refusing to budge it stood its ground...


Taking a lathi a big bulky pot bellied policeman arrived, blowing his whistle,
Stamping his authority on the intruder..
He took his lathi and gave a whiplash to the king..
in a moment of rage it swiped its tail,
 the policeman fell on a pile full of dung !!


Having a small giggle it found interest in a small tree nearby,
Got up from its throne and happily went its merry way…
