A Bozoical Green

Unlike many folks who are confused about when to call it a day , from an active working life, Bozo, Mumbai's only-dog-with-a-blog, takes everything in his stride.

An also unlike many folks we all know who pretend to be something and do the exact opposite in their quest for power,  Bozo has followed the Green Philosophy all his life. First as a pup, then possibly as a teenager, casanova, householder and now as a senior citizen.

Blogger friend Magiceye, his mentor and chronicler of his Life nd Times, posted this picture of Bozo,  keeping an alert watch from the balcony...

When I was a little pup,
green was
the color of the ball,
the young fellow
tossed to me,
and the color
of the young lady's
saree-with-the-gold-dots,
when
she got all decked up
for a pooja
in the house.

Teenage green
was what happened,
when Moti
next door,
went running off
with my then best friend,
Rani,
and she went,
just because....
well, because !

Green was
also
probably
what Lassie felt,
when I strolled around Bandra
on a date
with Luci
visiting from Kerala...

Now as a senior citizen,
green is what
I see,
when I watch
from my balcony,
as I growl
and bark
at
those cutting trees,
throwing plastic around,
stealing from people's gardens,
and
even troubling children....

Like
I told the folks
who interviewed me,
for
The Canine Mirror.
"I see a Green Future"....
