An Ode to the Buffalo

October 12, 2007

O great big buffalo, how mighty you are
Ruling the planet like a powerful czar.
You’ve made your kingdom in the city of Bangalore
We beg for your help, we can’t take it anymore.

Majestically, you sit in the middle of the road
Jamming traffic, disrupting your heavenly abode.
Bravely, here I come with a suggestion for you
All those pedestrians, please haunt them too.

Just look how much the traffic has grown
The footpath is now your ultimate throne.
We’re here to pray, please spare us your wrath
Go and terrorize the people on the footpath!

    Wow! you really do have a soft spot for buffaloes dont you!
    But all I ask is….what do you have against poor old pedestrians like us? What harm have we done to you? How could you want the buffalo deities to unleash their wrath upon us unsuspecting walkers?

    On a more serious note…..this was actually very funny (how ironic:P)…..and the poetry- my, what talent!

    I think Pedestrians also deserve their fair share of terror. Who will think of the pedestrians, who’ve been left out of all the excitement and fun? I say we all stand up for the rights of Pedestrians to be bullied.

    I shall pray to the buffalo gods Bollywood style in a mandir with the aandhi and the ringing bells…..and then all pedestrians shall be spared, and we can all lobby for the rights of non-pedestrians to be bullied…….
    :D

    May the wind, the rain and the thunder be with you (You know, for the bollywood-style prayers in the mandir :P )

    Why thank you! My melodramatic prayer could always do with a little help from the weather gods (but they’d probably want a melodramatic prayer ritual performed for them first….without the Bollywood effects, but melodramatic nonetheless)….
    Anyways, its good wishes like yours that are going to bring my prayer-endeavours to fruition! :D
