Bovine E-Soliloquies

Spare a thought for the temple top cow. Dealing with conch shells and missed calls, as in this post by Kavi. Photo of temple at Kodai, courtesy Kavi.


She observes
this dicey world
chewing the cud
from
behind the man
with the conchshell
as he bravely competes,
with mindless obedient
electrons
departing in a rush.


Far away
the missus,
glances and purses her lips.
A missed call
to tell her
the milk van won't come today.
The cows
are part of a bandh,
protesting
the support
price for electrons...

  1. I love it and gave me just the laugh I needed today! You are a master of language -- and more than one!

    Thanks, my dear friend!
