I was fascinated by the world of poets in my school days. I decided that if they could write poetry, why not I. So one fine morning on a school holiday, I sat down and began building up words and its rhyme's, but I made little headway. I tried the next holiday and the next but to no avail until one fine day someone came and told me they required articles and poems for a magazine. I made up my mind, no matter what, I will participate and decided to select an animal as my subject.. After much racking of my brains I could not come up with anything worthwile. Not wanting to let go of this chance, I sneakily copied it from one magazine and send it. It was the first time which became my last time, I ever did that. From that day on, I decided, never ever send someone else poem again and till date I have stuck to that. This poem so proudly sent by me was rejected right away by the magazine editor (and rightly so) with a reprimanding letter.
The poem went like this:
"Dum Dum Dum
The Tiger is come
Put some Rum
In the Tiger's bum".
Heh..heh...heh..enjoy
